Accuracy notes
0.01 m / 0.03-degree pitch-roll / 0.1-degree heading are table system specifications, not validated release-wide errors.
Reference notes
The paper recommends logged inputs as reference; these are shared-input GNSS/inertial estimates, not independent tracking.

Parameters only

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

Notes

Released per-frame sensor parameters/extrinsics, including later radar transforms. Complete raw calibration recordings and empirical release-wide accuracy remain unknown.

Known or intentional limitations

Reported constraints and characteristics to check before using the dataset.

Frames (100k keyframes), Sequences (1,473 short clips) and Drives (29 longer drives) differ in sensor windows, duration and annotations. They are not additive homogeneous recording counts.

Radar is a January 2025 addition for Sequences/Drives only. Merged LiDAR clouds are documented near 9 Hz and images at 10.1 Hz; rounded paper frequencies do not define uniform exact timing.

OxTS reference poses reuse released navigation inputs. Device position/orientation specifications are not validated dataset-wide errors; native IMU rates and consumer device counts/topology remain unknown.

Anonymized images and task-specific taxonomies affect training/evaluation. Official access uses an application/shared link or published torrents; complete raw calibration and independent timing accuracy remain unverified.
