Data Description

Most runs are about 3 minutes in length
Typical sizes are
Imaging Ladar (GDRS, 32 _ 180) 90 M
Color Camera (avi format, 640 _ 480) 700 M
Color Stereo (ppm format, 640 _ 480) 10 G
Panoramic (3 cameras, 320 _ 240, avi format) 2.5 G
Navigation data (100-200 Hz) 2 M
Various log files, calibration info, 5 K
Total: ~ 13 G with stereo and panoramic
~ 800 M with only ladar and color camera
Other information that will be distributed along with image sets:

Navigation and timing data giving the vehicle pose when sensor samples were captured
Sensor to vehicle coordinate transformations for each sensor
Sensor calibration information
Sensor to sensor registration
Images of a calibration target taken before and after the data were collected
