Imaging"],"abstract":"<jats:p>In this article, the Laserscanner Multi-Fisheye Camera Dataset (LaFiDa) for applying benchmarks is presented. A head-mounted multi-fisheye camera system combined with a mobile laserscanner was utilized to capture the benchmark datasets. Besides this, accurate six degrees of freedom (6 DoF) ground truth poses were obtained from a motion capture system with a sampling rate of 360 Hz. Multiple sequences were recorded in an indoor and outdoor environment, comprising different motion characteristics, lighting conditions, and scene dynamics. The provided sequences consist of images from three\u2014by hardware trigger\u2014fully synchronized fisheye cameras combined with a mobile laserscanner on the same platform. In total, six trajectories are provided. Each trajectory also comprises intrinsic and extrinsic calibration parameters and related measurements for all sensors. Furthermore, we generalize the most common toolbox for an extrinsic laserscanner to camera calibration to work with arbitrary central cameras, such as omnidirectional or fisheye projections. The benchmark dataset is available online released under the Creative Commons Attributions Licence (CC-BY 4.0), and it contains raw sensor data and specifications like timestamps, calibration, and evaluation scripts. The provided dataset can be used for multi-fisheye camera and\/or laserscanner simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jimaging3010005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,18]],"date-time":"2017-01-18T10:00:47Z","timestamp":1484733647000},"page":"5","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["LaFiDa\u2014A Laserscanner Multi-Fisheye Camera Dataset"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"3","author":[{"given":"Steffen","family":"Urban","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (IPF) Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Englerstr. 7, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4322-3074","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Boris","family":"Jutzi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (IPF) Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Englerstr. 7, 76131 Karlsruhe, Germany"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Sturm, J., Engelhard, N., Endres, F., Burgard, W., and Cremers, D.
