NOTICE

This paper has been accepted by ICRA2024! So I decide to release the dataset with its calibration results and GT trajectories right now. Feel free to utilize this full dataset to facilitate your research on SLAM. Please give me a star if you like it.

4. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

We test methods with diverse senser settings to validate our benchmark dataset. Results shown that our dataset is a valid and effective testfield for localization methods.

And in some cases, our Ground-Fusion achieves comparable performance to Lidar SLAM!
