Reference notes
One stationary simpleRTK2B sends corrections by 900 MHz telemetry to the onboard moving-base simpleRTK2Blite and rover simpleRTK2B pair. Released reference contains latitude, longitude, height and heading; pitch and roll are unavailable. The evaluation converts positions to UTM and heading to quaternions. Calibration-sequence RTK coverage is not established.

Reproducible calibration data

Raw calibration data is reported, so users can reproduce or inspect the calibration process.

Notes

Eleven camera-IMU recordings vary IMU-x translation or IMU-z rotation. Kalibr estimates camera intrinsics/distortion and spatial/time camera-IMU transforms. Six hours of stationary IMU data are used for Allan analysis, but their release is not established. Manual rail/stage comparison is calibration validation, not platform ground-truth accuracy. Detailed depth results report 47 mm mean error and 10 mm standard deviation, whereas the conclusion says at worst +/-10 mm; no overall accuracy guarantee is proposed.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Reference supplies position and heading but lacks pitch and roll.

Stereo and LiDAR are future extensions, not released streams documented by this edition.
