Reference notes
Processed WGS84 position reference reuses the independently released rover RTK fixes and a local base station. Fixed mode is reported throughout all seven runs. Position only: not a 6-DoF attitude reference or a numeric one-centimeter error guarantee.

Reproducible calibration data

Raw calibration data is reported, so users can reproduce or inspect the calibration process.

Notes

Raw calibration bags, configuration, scripts and results are documented. Kalibr, Allan variance and LiDAR-camera calibration are complemented by CAD/mechanical wheel/GNSS extrinsics; these are not independent empirical accuracy guarantees.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Seven outdoor farm runs cover three citrus fields; seasonal, weather and nighttime diversity is limited. Rounded 1.7-hour/7.5-km homepage figures differ from the summed paper sequence values.

Zed2i depth and pose are computed products; R-G-NIR channels share one Mapir camera. RTK supplies position only and its reference reuses the released fixes.

Camera clocks can drift and final alignment/reference errors are unknown. Wheel/GNSS extrinsics use mechanical geometry; canopy and repeated vegetation challenge perception.
