1. Trajectories


  • Four different trajectories: circle, infinity, square, and pure_rotation.
  • Each trajectory has three types of sequence: normal speed, fast speed, and rotation.
  • The pure rotation sequence has only normal speed, fast speed types

2. Downloads

3. Dataset format


  • Each set of data is recorded as a ROS bag file.
  • Each data sequence contains the followings:
    • stereo infra images (w/ emitter turned off)
    • mono RGB image
    • IMU data (3-axes accelerometer, 3-axes gyroscopes)
    • 6-DOF Ground-Truth
  • ROS topic
    • Camera(30 Hz): "/camera/infra1(2)/image_rect_raw/compressed", "/camera/color/image_raw/compressed"
    • IMU(100 Hz): "/mavros/imu/data"
    • Ground-Truth(50 Hz): "/pose_transformed"
  • In the config directory
    • trans-mat.yaml: translational matrix between the origin of the Ground-Truth and the VI sensor unit.

      (the offset has already been applied to the bag data, and this YAML file has estimated offset values, just for reference. To benchmark your VO/VIO method more accurately, you can use your alignment method with other tools, like origin alignment or Umeyama alignment from evo)
    • imu-params.yaml: estimated noise parameters of Pixhawk 4 mini
    • cam-imu.yaml: Camera intrinsics, Camera-IMU extrinsics in kalibr format



4. Setup

- Hardware


                Fig.1 Lab Environment                                        Fig.2 UAV platform
  • VI sensor unit
    • camera: Intel Realsense D435i (640x480 for infra 1,2 & RGB images)
    • IMU: Pixhawk 4 mini
    • VI sensor unit was calibrated by using kalibr

  • Ground-Truth
    • OptiTrack PrimeX 13 motion capture system with six cameras was used
    • including 6-DOF motion information.
