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 VIODE
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.

Reference notes
Simulator-provided AirSim ground-truth 6-DoF trajectory for every sequence; the 20 Hz rendering poses are a subsampling of this reference, not a separate reference system.

Parameters only

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

Notes

Ground-truth stereo intrinsics and extrinsics and camera-IMU extrinsics are supplied.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Simulated IMU omits rotor vibration and has lower noise than real UAV data.

Dynamic objects are cars moving at constant speeds along designated paths.

VINS-Mask evaluation uses ground-truth masks rather than predicted segmentation.

Notes
Simulated stereo pair; 5 cm baseline. Reported FOV is 90 degrees without an axis, so horizontal and vertical values remain unknown. Instance masks accompany both cameras at 20 Hz.
