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 HeLiMOS
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
Maintained toolbox exports poses.txt from parent INS-based LiDAR_GT. Annotation-local pose corrections are not independent trajectory measurements; exact release-wide error and valid intervals remain unknown.

Parameters only

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

Notes

Physical extrinsics are obtained from HeLiPR. Converted SemanticKITTI-style calib.txt identity matrices describe the chosen output frame, not evidence of identity physical extrinsics or raw calibration sessions.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Current request-based distribution provides the KAIST05 IROS 2024 version with deskewed clouds and motion labels for four LiDAR types. The 12,188 labelled-cloud total has unresolved per-sensor versus combined counting semantics.

Labels encode observed motion, with unlabelled/static/dynamic IDs; they are not semantic object categories. Sequential revisits and local pose corrections affect split independence and annotation quality.

Inherited INS poses and software-aligned cloud products are documented. Full timing/reference accuracy, native sensor cadence and standalone parent camera/IMU/GNSS/FMCW auxiliary products are not established for this extension.

Four heterogeneous scanners are physical input groups; no channel count is inferred solely from a model name. Converted identity calibration matrices should not be interpreted as physical rig geometry.
