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 TartanAir
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
Exact simulator state is not a numeric real-world positioning error.
Reference notes
Simulator camera poses, internally defined in the virtual environment; no external physical metrology.

Reference notes
Depth comes from the renderer; disparity is a conversion of the same depth source, not a second independent reference.

Reference notes
Optical flow uses depth/pose warping. Do not infer dynamic-object true motion labels from this static-scene construction.

Notes

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Synthetic optics, noise and motion blur differ from real sensors.

Depth/pose-derived optical flow is defined for static scenes and masked invalid pixels.

Success-only trajectory error can hide failed runs; report robustness alongside accuracy.

Sequence count and storage retain the analysed 2020 collection scope, rather than a current TartanAir V2 inventory. Virtual lidar and calibration packaging remain incompletely specified.
