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 GO: The Great Outdoors
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
Setup lists Sparkfun RTK Facet at 4 Hz, a maximum accuracy of 1.4 cm, and NTRIP RTCM corrections. These are not verified trajectory accuracy or coverage statistics.
Reference notes
Paper explicitly supplies synchronized GPS ground-truth trajectories; exact receiver linkage, dimensional scope, reference cadence and validity masks remain unestablished.

Calibration data

Calibration reproducibility details are not reported.

Notes

MSG-Cal with a planar board aligns LiDAR and RGB/thermal cameras; a 3D model aligns radar to a scanned point cloud. Procedures are described, but availability of parameters and raw calibration records is not established.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Semantic labels are dominated by vegetation; man-made classes are less frequent.

Thermal labels are transferred using RGB/thermal calibration; 1800 annotated image frames are reported without a modality-specific count.

Collection spans two days in May; broader seasonal/weather/time-of-day coverage and language annotations are future work.
