Sensor overview

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

Ground truth

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

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
Image-space boxes and IDs from automatic tracking, corrections, interpolation and final manual inspection; labels transfer to aligned RGB. Re-entering drones start separate tracks.

Calibration and synchronization

Reported calibration level, reproducibility signals, and supporting notes.

Calibration data

Calibration reproducibility details are not reported.

Notes

Intrinsics were computed, distortion removed and RGB padding applied for cross-camera overlap. The paper does not establish delivery of calibration parameters or raw calibration recordings.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Low-light and rain recordings deliberately challenge the modalities; rain and insects generate event distractors.

Identity labels are local to videos, and field-of-view re-entry starts a separate track.
