About

A collection of datasets recorded with SMapper


Datasets recorded with SMapper are stored as ROS 2 bags. This means they follow a standard format, are easy to play back, and can be used with many existing tools that already support rosbags or can convert them into other formats.

All datasets here are stored using the MCAP format. This is now the default in ROS 2 Jazzy and brings some advantages compared to the traditional SQLite storage backend.

If you’re on an older ROS 2 distribution, you might need to install MCAP support manually. You can install the package like this:

sudo apt install ros-$ROS_DISTRO-rosbag2-storage-mcap

Topics in Each Dataset

Every dataset includes the following topics. These cover 3D point clouds, IMU data from two different sources, multiple camera streams, and the required transforms.
