Dataset associated with submission for handling LiDAR-degenerative environments through LiDAR-radar-inertial fusion with factor graphs.
The datasets consist of sensor measurements (IMU, LiDAR, and FMCW radar) of an aerial robot manually flown through environments challenging for LiDAR sensors. These are a biking tunnel (geometric self-similarity) and a university corridor filled with fog (obscurants). In addition CAD extrinsics between the sensors are provided.
Manual flight along a 8m-wide, 500m-long, straight section of a biking tunnel in Bergen, Norway.

Manual flight in a university environment in the Elektro building of NTNU in Trondheim, Norway. The first corridor flown through after takeoff is filled with dense fog.

Synchronized using microcontroller-based internally developed synchronization/triggering module
The header time stamp for IMU and radar originate from the triggering module, to replay the trigger-stamped LiDAR data from packet topics use this driver.
| Source | Topic | Rate [Hz] |
|---|---|---|
| Triggering | - /sensor_sync_node/trigger_0- /sensor_sync_node/trigger_1 |
- 800 - 10 |
| IMU | /vectornav_node/uncomp_imu |
200 |
| LiDAR | - /os_cloud_node/imu_packets- /os_cloud_node/lidar_packets- /os_cloud_node/metadata |

All extrinsics are given with respect to the IMU
