Notes

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Four adjacent spatial sections cover approximately 1 km of one Toronto roadway and about 78.3 million points. These tiles are not four independent recording sequences.

Released PLY attributes include RGB and GPS time; they do not establish independently released raw images, GNSS observations or pose references.

Large UTM coordinates should be offset before float-based subsampling to avoid precision loss. Moving vehicles can have colour-assignment and acquisition artifacts.

Eight labelled classes plus unclassified are provided. Labels have been revised since the original benchmark; fine road markings and wires remain challenging.

Scanner cadence, raw sensor streams, distributed calibration recordings and independent reference accuracy remain unverified.
