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 i2Nav-Robot
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.
6DoF GNSS / INS Inertial Explorer / navigation-grade IMU Not reported 200 Hz Partial · Playground00, Street00, Street01, Street02, Building02 Reference provenance
External
Measured using equipment independent of the platform’s normal onboard sensor pipeline.

Accuracy notes
Position described as centimetre-level; manufacturer roll/pitch ~0.01°, yaw ~0.02°.
Reference notes
GNSS/INS reference from navigation-grade IMU and receiver observations. Current official README assigns building02 to this method. Released fix outputs share receiver hardware; raw observations are withheld.

Reference notes
RTK-controlled GoSLAM RS100i-MT survey map plus released AT128 map matching and high-grade IMU. Map uncertainty omitted from computed matching covariance.

Parameters only

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

Notes

CAD translations and online estimated rotations are recommended initialization parameters; raw calibration sessions are not established.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Ten sequences cover 17.060 km and 14,204 seconds; GNSS files are absent for parking01 and parking02.

Current official documentation assigns building02 to GNSS/INS reference generation. The other building and parking references use prebuilt-map matching; both pipelines share released sensing.

Raw GNSS observations and prebuilt maps are explicitly withheld. Manufacturer accuracy values and map-matching covariance do not certify the full reference trajectory.

Official instructions warn that left/right wheel groups in ROS messages are reversed and must be exchanged. Four state groups do not establish four independently counted physical encoders.

Camera timestamps mark exposure start; exposure duration and software receive-time delays remain relevant despite PTP.
