Sensor overview

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

Ground truth

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

Accuracy notes
The paper calls the result high accuracy but gives no numeric reference accuracy.
Reference notes
A separate downward-looking camera detects 22 surveyed floor tags. The released references give planar vehicle position and heading during tag visibility; between-tag interpolation is a separate processing choice. The reference video is not established as a released camera stream.

Parameters only

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

Notes

Floor-plan calibration coordinates are released. Raw sensor-calibration sessions are not established. IMUs start without prior calibration; their NDOF mode performs online magnetometer calibration.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

The four physical Wi-Fi interfaces produce four RSS files plus an averaged RSS file; the merged output does not increase the device count.

Ground-truth timing is irregular and limited to intervals with visible floor tags. Full-trajectory reference accuracy is not quantified; interpolation between tags is not direct measurement.

The trolley is manually pushed. Its industrial-vehicle classification describes the recording platform and intended task, not an autonomous driving system.

The BNO055 IMUs begin without prior calibration, and Wi-Fi fingerprinting depends on the recorded building layout and access-point configuration.

Python parsing, analysis, plotting, fingerprinting and dead-reckoning scripts are included inside the dataset archive; a separate code repository and the collection video are not established.
