Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Eight sequences contain 6,000 scans each across seven CARLA maps. The 16,000-scan LT subset uses the first 2,000 scans of each sequence and overlaps the full collection.

The release is synthetic; simulator geometry and class distributions do not remove the domain gap to physical LiDAR.

SemanticKITTI classes other-vehicle, other-ground, parking and trunk are absent from the shared evaluation labels.

RGB examples in the paper do not establish a released camera stream. Trajectory references, scan frequency and calibration packaging are not established.
