3D Scan Repository for Benchmarking Robotic Algorithms

Dear Colleagues,

Since 2003, "Radish: The Robotics Data Set Repository" offers standard data sets for the robotics community. Since then it provided a very good basis for comparing algorithms for, e.g., 2D robotic mapping.

2D SLAM in structured indoor environments, however, is regarded to be solved. To foster research in the emerging field of 3D mapping, the University of Osnabrueck set up a 3D scan repository. Using the following link

you can access several data sets. You may use freely this data for developing SLAM, interpretation or other algorithms, but you are required to name the people who have recorded the data set and their corresponding institution. We aim to provide the means for quantitative performance evaluation of robotic and intelligent systems and benchmarking.

We would also like to encourage you to submit data sets to the repository.

Very best, Andreas Nuechter, Kai Lingemann
