Ground truth

Reference scope, method, rate, coverage, and provenance.

Ground-truth references for UAVScenes
Scope Method Reference system Count Rate Coverage Reference provenance

Measured using equipment independent of the platform’s normal onboard sensor pipeline.
Derived
Computed primarily from the dataset’s own recorded sensors.

Parameters only

Processed calibration parameters are reported, but raw calibration data is not reported.

Notes

The interval1_CAM_LIDAR package includes calibration parameters; camera–LiDAR parameters are also documented in calibration_results.py. Raw calibration sessions are not established.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

An annotation and pose extension of MARS-LVIG, with 23 sequences in four outdoor areas; the parent collection is not an additional independent set of recordings.

Twenty sequences have reconstructed poses and annotated clouds. Featureless_GNSS01, Featureless_GNSS02 and Featureless_GNSS03 provide only dynamic-object image labels; no reconstructed poses or annotated clouds are supplied for them.

The eight reconstruction groups or maps are not the sequence count. Full-rate interval-1 downloads and interval-5 keyframe downloads have different sampling.

Camera poses reuse released imagery and GNSS initialization, and projected depth reuses input LiDAR. Neither is an independent reference for every sensor-fusion use case; reference accuracy is not established.

IMU and GNSS hardware in the parent collection does not establish independently released streams here. The encrypted DJI L1 raw clouds are outside the frame-wise annotation product.

The repository provides data-processing utilities, while the complete benchmark baseline code is still marked as under preparation in the checked documentation.
