Ground truth

Reference scope, method, rate, coverage, and provenance.

Parameters only

Processed calibration parameters are reported, but raw calibration data is not reported.

Notes

Per-image .pincam intrinsics are documented for the RGB variants. Full raw calibration sessions and independent extrinsic/timing accuracy remain unestablished.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

This entry is limited to documented RGB-D, reconstruction, trajectory and annotation products. The paper mentions IMU, but the official raw asset list/downloader does not establish standalone native inertial delivery; no IMU stream is claimed.

The 3D object-detection product lists 5,047 captures, while the paper repeatedly gives 5,048 overall. Task products have different membership; aggregate recording count remains unknown.

Low-resolution 60 fps, VGA wide 30 fps and filtered high-resolution/ultra-wide 10 fps products share physical cameras. Not every asset exists at each timestamp; filtering and raw/3DOD editions can alter depth/confidence.

Survey-registered keyposes and rendered high-resolution depth cover subsets and reuse image registration. FARO remains reference equipment; registration error, visibility gaps, reflections and withheld test data limit reference coverage.

Notes
Documented lowres_wide RGB and lowres_depth are 256x192 at 60 fps, with missing assets possible per timestamp. The same physical wide camera also supplies 640x480 at 30 fps and filtered 1920x1440 images at 10 fps; these are not extra cameras.
