Accuracy and notes
Reference notes
A 16-camera OptiTrack Flex13 system covers room sequences fully; corridor, magistrale, outdoor, and slide sequences have reference poses only while beginning and ending inside the motion-capture room.

Reproducible calibration data

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

Notes

Raw and calibrated bags, camera intrinsics/stereo extrinsics, camera-IMU and hand-eye calibration, timing offsets, IMU scale/misalignment and noise parameters, and photometric vignette calibration are provided.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Ground truth is complete only for room sequences; longer trajectories contain 120 Hz reference poses at their start and end segments.

Short sections can have poor exposure, and the slide sequences intentionally include a visually featureless tube with very low illumination.

Apparent stuttering during rosbag playback can result from large storage chunks and is not believed to represent recorded frame drops.
