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 NEGS-UGV
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
Simulator truth for base_link, with global Cartesian position and unit quaternion. model_states is listed at 1000 Hz; 25 Hz pose extraction serves image rendering and is not a second reference system.

Calibration and synchronization

Reported calibration level, reproducibility signals, and supporting notes.

Parameters only

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

Notes

Table 2 supplies sensor-frame poses relative to base_link for the simulation; no physical calibration accuracy or raw calibration recording is asserted.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Simulated sensors are noise-free; synthetic realism and real-world transfer require separate evaluation.

Stereo imagery is rendered statically from saved poses after navigation.

Ground and sky dominate many image labels; ground dominates most LiDAR labels except forest.

Different lighting conditions and dynamic elements are future work.

Notes
Simulated stereo system with 0.12 m baseline. Realistic and flat-color tagged left/right images are rendered from saved poses after navigation and inserted synchronously. Paper describes timestamp-named PNG files; current archive encoding and meaning of stereo-image totals need checking.
