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 OPV2V
Scope Method Reference system Count Rate Coverage Reference provenance

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
Per-agent simulator world pose is stored with and without added GPS noise. This is simulator state metadata, not a raw GNSS/IMU observation stream or independent physical measurement.

Calibration and synchronization

Parameters only

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

Notes

Per-timestamp YAML metadata includes camera intrinsics and camera-to-LiDAR extrinsics; simulator configuration is supplied for replay. These are synthetic parameters, not physical calibration sessions.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

The 73 scenarios contain 11,464 collective time steps and two to seven participating vehicles. Four cameras and one LiDAR describe each agent, not a fixed aggregate fleet rig.

Data is synthetic, including the reconstructed Culver City town. Physical sensors used to build that digital town are not additional released input streams.

Per-agent simulator poses and calibration matrices are metadata. Separately released raw GNSS/IMU observations are not established; configured simulator devices do not increase the sensor inventory.

BEV semantics are not image-plane masks. Visibility-qualified vehicle boxes and simulated noise parameters are not independently measured reference accuracy.

Communication radius, delay and compression settings belong to experiments, not measured radio logs. Replay can add sensors beyond the original release.
