Sensor overview

High-level sensor availability before the detailed sensor records below.

Ground truth

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

Ground-truth references for CEAR
Scope Method Reference system Count Rate Coverage Reference provenance
External
Measured using equipment independent of the platform’s normal onboard sensor pipeline.
Derived
Computed primarily from the dataset’s own recorded sensors.
Hybrid
Combines independent reference equipment with onboard measurements.

Reference notes
Tracking volume 7.5 by 5.5 by 2.8 m; do not extrapolate this reference to all backflip sites.

Derived
Computed primarily from the dataset’s own recorded sensors.
Hybrid
Combines independent reference equipment with onboard measurements.

Reference notes
Derived from LiDAR and IMU; the generic non-MoCap reference statement does not explain LiDAR-free backflips.

Parameters only

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

Notes

Available parameters include event-camera intrinsics, VectorNav inertial calibration and pairwise sensor transforms; RealSense manufacturer intrinsics and RGB-depth extrinsics are retained.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Backflip sequences omit LiDAR.

Backflip RGB imagery suffers severe motion blur and landing causes abrupt inertial changes.

References outside the MoCap subset use estimated trajectories; other backflip reference coverage needs clarification.
