Parameters only
Processed calibration parameters are reported, but raw calibration data is not reported.
Notes
Intrinsics and extrinsics are supplied. Calibration uses checkerboards, static captures and two hold-out bookend runs. Some weakly observable components use CAD or hand measurements and fixed roll/pitch; full raw calibration-data release is not established.
Known or intentional limitations
Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.
Aeva lidar and its integrated IMU cover only 31 of 60 sequences.
DMU41 raw stream has rare dropouts up to 0.4 seconds; its interpolated stream is a separate product.
Ground-truth consistency degrades in urban canyons, forest routes and tunnels; independent evaluation should avoid Applanix IMU and encoder inputs.
Velodyne beam 69 is removed from saved scans.
