Datasets

We have published a number of datasets. Under each heading you will find the associated paper, as well as links to their websites where relevant. We also make some data from other publications available as is.

Radar Doppler Dataset

The Radar Doppler Dataset extends the works on the Radar RobotCar Dataset with a new radar configuration containing Doppler information. The dataset was collected with the collaboration of Oxa and Navtech Radar in and near the Culham Science Centre, Abingdon and contains, alongside radar data, LiDAR, cameras and RTK GPS, to allow the evaluation of odometry algorithms.

Newer College Dataset

The Newer College Dataset revisits New College, Oxford with modern sensors and ground truth. The dataset was collected at human walking speed on a compact handheld device equipped with a RealSense D435i stereo camera, a Ouster OS-1 LIDAR and embedded IMU sensors. A millimeter accurate point cloud of the college, acquired with a professional laser scanner, is used to generate ground truth poses at 10 Hz in post processing, to allow the evaluation of visual-inertial algorithms outdoor at unprecedented small scales.

Radar RobotCar Dataset

The Oxford Radar RobotCar Dataset is a new dataset for researching scene understanding using Millimetre-Wave FMCW scanning radar data. The target application is autonomous vehicles where this modality remains unencumbered by environmental conditions such as fog, rain, snow, or lens flare, which typically challenge other sensor modalities such as vision and LIDAR.

RobotCar Dataset

The Oxford RobotCar Dataset contains over 100 repetitions of a consistent route through Oxford, UK, captured over a period of over a year. The dataset captures many different combinations of weather, traffic and pedestrians, along with longer term changes such as construction and roadworks.
