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 SPICE-HL3
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.

Accuracy notes
Sub-millimeter positional accuracy reported; no numeric orientation accuracy established.
Reference notes
Global position plus quaternion orientation; negative y is gravity aligned. ZED2 tracker shares the camera's 25 degree pitch, unlike the flat mast-mounted tracker on the FLIR/SPAD rover.

Reproducible calibration data

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

Notes

Camera intrinsics and original calibration images, including 8-bit SPAD calibration images; camera/global and camera/camera extrinsics plus IMU/wheel transforms, temporal offsets and rover CAD.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Coarse analog soil and nearby lighting imperfectly reproduce lunar photometry.

Motion-capture LEDs and infrared create unwanted illumination, ghosting and flares.

Stereo frames require timestamp matching and interpolation; inertial packets suffer delays and losses.

Notes
Passive intensity imaging, not an event or depth stream. Static A supplies binary frames; dynamic B–E supplies 4-bit images. B 215–510 Hz, C 120–440 Hz, D 125–154 Hz, E 30–120 Hz. Binary batch integration throughput is about 10 Hz, a distinct quantity.
