Parameters only
Processed calibration parameters are reported, but raw calibration data is not reported.
Notes
MATLAB scripts and ROS1 static-transform launch files provide calibration. Body frame has XT32 origin and forward/left/up axes. Manual/CAD initialization is refined with lidar-IMU calibration and correlation; November 5 ARS548 orientation is per sequence.
Known or intentional limitations
Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.
TLS-based accurate trajectories cover only beginning/end segments on long SUV sequences; use full CPGO primarily for place recognition.
ZED2i image resolution changes on 2023-12-08 and some image/IMU streams have lower than nominal rates.
ARS548 and MTi3DK are absent in early sequences.
GNSS/INS heights have metre-scale spikes; CPGO vertical accuracy is only within one metre.
Enhanced Eagle point accumulation may introduce motion distortion.

Table 4 characteristics: max range 300 m, HFOV 120 deg, VFOV 40 deg; these are not verified used settings. Sparse clouds, approximately 150 points/frame. Per-sequence orientation on November 5 accounts for tilt.
