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 InCrowd-VI

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
Service-level typical global translation RMSE is reported as no more than 1.5 cm for room-scale scenarios. Selected map-distance checks report mean 2.14 cm, standard deviation 1.46 cm and median 2.0 cm; these are not an independently measured trajectory error for all sequences.
Reference notes
Offline VIO/SLAM with server-side post-processing produces device trajectories and semi-dense static-scene reconstructions. Manual landmark-distance checks validate the reconstruction; they do not constitute a second external trajectory reference.

Calibration and synchronization

Parameters only

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

Notes

Factory intrinsics and fixed extrinsics are supplied. Camera calibration uses FisheyeRadTanThinPrism; IMU measurements use affine compensation. Evaluation extracts camera parameters and computes the left IMU-to-camera transform from supplied calibration.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

No depth information; indoor focus restricts outdoor and mixed-environment evaluation.

Reference trajectories are estimated offline; reported manual accuracy checks assess selected landmark distances in reconstructions.

Scenes include occlusion, reflections, texture-poor areas, lighting variation and motion transitions.
