Sensor overview

Ground truth

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

Ground-truth references for comma2k19
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.

Accuracy notes
Proxy RMSE varies by Civic/RAV4 and axis; retain Table I values without aggregating.
Reference notes
Derived camera pose and velocity reuse GNSS/inertial/vision inputs. The release stores pose alongside video-frame timestamps; this does not establish an independent native reference cadence.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

The 2,019 one-minute segments repeatedly cover a roughly 20 km highway section. They are sampled clips rather than 2,019 independent full drives; nominal clip duration is not unique geographic coverage.

Mesh3D poses reuse recorded GNSS, inertial and visual data. Road-height consistency and feature reprojection are quality proxies, not externally measured ground truth.

Honda Civic and Toyota RAV4 installations have different antenna reception and proxy errors. Camera geometry/calibration, precise clock alignment and independent reference error remain unknown.

The maintained manifest lists HEVC video despite the paper H264 description. Native reference cadence and complete-release image dimensions/modality remain unverified.

Parsed CAN radar and wheel-speed products are distributed, but exact physical radar/encoder counts and raw ADC streams are not established. GNSS bearing is not an independent platform-heading reference.
