MUN-FRL: Aerial Visual-Inertial-LiDAR Odometry and Mapping Dataset

_images/pl1.jpg _images/pl_v1.png _images/LH_m600_flight_cp.png _images/bell_1_map.jpg

This webpage presents the visual-inertial-LiDAR (VIL) datasets collected by an interchagable payload unit atttached to a Bell 412 Advanced Systems Research Helicopter (ASRA) helicoptor and a DJI M600 hexacoptor drone. The payload unit consists of two monocular global shutter cameras, a 3D LiDAR, an IMU, real-time kinematic (RTK) enabled global navigation system (GNSS) receiver and a Jetson AGX Xavier GPU as the processing unit. The two cameras, IMU, LiDAR and GNSS receivers are hardware time-synchronized.
