OPEN-KTH: An open Lidar dataset of KTH campus Valhallavägen

Open-KTH is a subproject of the AD-EYE testbed for Automated Driving and Intelligent Transportation Systems.


The AD-EYE simulation platform is based on the description presented in the work :

Naveen Mohan, Martin Törngren, "AD-EYE: A Co-Simulation Platform for Early Verification of Functional Safety Concepts", SAE Technical Paper 19AE-0203/2019-01-0126, https://doi.org/10.4271/2019-01-0126

Preprint available at: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.00448

Data collected by students of the group "AD-EYE on Road" in the capstone course of the Mechatronics Masters program using the AD-EYE platform.

Mapping using the collected data was performed by Maxime Sainte Catherine from the AD-EYE team.

PCD/LAS Map of KTH campus Valhallavägen

The commands bash extract_pcd_map.bash and bash extract_las_map.bash respectively extract the pcd and the las files.

Rosbags used for the mapping

The data was collected under the form of rosbags using a Velodyne VLP-16 Lidar and a Xsens MTi-700 IMU sensor. Those sensors were mounted on a Renault Twizy which was driven around the KTH campus.

Running the command

bash extract_rosbags.bash

in a terminal will extract the rosbag files.

How the map was created

The ROS package ndt_mapping was used to generate the pcd map using the following settings:

step_size 0.1
trans_epsilon 0.01
max_iterations 50
leaf_size 2.0
min_scan_range 1.5
max_scan_range 75.0
min_add_scan_shift 2.0
/approximate_ndt_mapping/imu_topic /imu/data
/approximate_ndt_mapping/imu_upside_down True
/approximate_ndt_mapping/incremental_voxel_update True
/approximate_ndt_mapping/method_type False
/approximate_ndt_mapping/use_imu True
/approximate_ndt_mapping/use_odom False
