ColoRadar Dataset


We present the Colorado mm-Wave Radar (ColoRadar) dataset. It consists of 52 sequences, recorded in mines, built environments, and in an urban creek path, totaling more than 145 minutes of 3D FMCW radar, 3D lidar, and IMU data. The full dataset, including sensor data, calibration sequences, and evaluation scripts can be downloaded here.

We have organized our dataset using the Automous Systems Lab (ASL) dataset format, though our dataset additionally provides files for the photometric camera calibration and light calibration. Each sequence is available at full-resolution and separated into its own zip file.

Sensor Rig

Photo of sensor rig

The sensor rig contains the following components:

  • Cascaded Imaging Radar Sensor: Texas Instruments MMWCAS-RF-EVM
  • Single Chip Radar Sensor: Texas Instruments AWR1843BOOST-EVM paired with a DCA1000-EVM for raw data capture
  • Lidar Sensor: Ouster OS1; 10Hz; 64 beams; 1-degree angular accuracy; angular resolution 0.35-degree horizontal, 0.7-degree vertical; 3cm range accuracy; field of view 360-degree horizontal, 45-degree vertical; max range 120m; 65,536 points per scan
  • IMU: Lord Microstrain 3DM-GX5-25; 300Hz

Evaluation

To be included.

Calibration

We additionally include a decluttering calibration dataset, so that radar calibration models may be inferred.

License
