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 USCILab3D
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.
6DoF LiDAR SLAM Not reported Not reported Not reported Unknown 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.

Reference notes
Interpolated LeGO-LOAM camera poses from recorded LiDAR; not an external reference measurement.
6DoF Structure from motion Not reported Not reported Not reported Unknown 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.

Reference notes
COLMAP SfM pose product is separate from interpolated LiDAR poses. Unified poses are described as a future version.

Calibration data

Calibration reproducibility details are not reported.

Notes

MATLAB toolbox and line/plane correspondences align camera and LiDAR frames; distribution of calibration assets is not established.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Machine-generated labels; planned human inspection and correction are not confirmed complete.

Moving objects and calibration errors can offset image-to-point-cloud projections.

Collection is confined to one university campus and daytime sessions.
