This dataset includes geospatial files providing an updated habitat classification map covering wetland and upland coastal habitats throughout Mobile and Baldwin counties in Alabama (approximately 3,671 square miles).

Work in progress: data might be changed

The data set contains the locations of public roadside parking spaces in the northeastern part of Hanover Linden-Nord. As a sample data set, it explicitly does not provide a complete, accurate or correct representation of the conditions! It was collected and processed as part of the 5GAPS research project on September 22nd and October 6th 2022 as a basis for further analysis and in particular as input for simulation studies.

Vehicle Detections

Based on the mapping methodology of Bock et al. (2015) and processing of Leichter et al. (2021), the utilization was determined using vehicle detections in segmented 3D point clouds. The corresponding point clouds were collected by driving over the area on two half-days using a LiDAR mobile mapping system, resulting in several hours between observations. Accordingly, these are only a few sample observations. The trips are made in such a way that combined they cover a synthetic day from about 8-20 clock.

The collected point clouds were georeferenced, processed, and automatically segmented semantically (see Leichter et al., 2021). To automatically extract cars, those points with car labels were clustered by observation epoch and bounding boxes were estimated for the clusters as a representation of car instances. The boxes serve both to filter out unrealistically small and large objects, and to rudimentarily complete the vehicle footprint that may not be fully captured from all sides.

Parking Areas

The public parking areas were digitized manually using aerial images and the detected vehicles in order to exclude irregular parking spaces as far as possible. They were also tagged as to whether they were aligned parallel to the road and assigned to a use at the time of recording, as some are used for construction sites or outdoor catering, for example. Depending on the intended use, they can be filtered individually.

Parking Occupancy

For modelling the parking occupancy, single slots are sampled as center points every 5 m from the parking areas. In this way, they can be integrated into a street/routing graph, for example, as prepared in Wage et al. (2023). Own representations can be generated from the parking area and vehicle detections. Those parking points were intersected with the vehicle boxes to identify occupancy at the respective epochs.

https://data.uni-hannover.de/dataset/0945cd36-6797-44ac-a6bd-b7311f0f96bc/resource/ca0b97c8-2542-479e-83d7-74adb2fc47c0/download/datenpub-bays.png" alt="Overview map of parking slots' average load" title="Overview map of parking slots' average load"> Figure 3: Overview map of average parking lot load

However, unoccupied spaces cannot be determined quite as trivially the other way around, since no detected vehicle can result just as from no measurement/observation. Therefore, a parking space is only recorded as unoccupied if a vehicle was detected at the same time in the neighborhood on the same parking lane and therefore it can be assumed that there is a measurement.

To close temporal gaps, interpolations were made by hour for each parking slot, assuming that between two consecutive observations with an occupancy the space was also occupied in between - or if both times free also free in between. If there was a change, this is indicated by a proportional value. To close spatial gaps, unobserved spaces in the area are drawn randomly from the ten closest occupation patterns around.

This results in an exemplary occupancy pattern of a synthetic day. Depending on the application, the value could be interpreted as occupancy probability or occupancy share.

These data provide an accurate high-resolution shoreline compiled from imagery of PORT OF MOBILE, AL . This vector shoreline data is based on an office interpretation of imagery that may be suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. This metadata describes information for both the line and point shapefiles. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

The Robot-at-Home dataset (Robot@Home, paper here) is a collection of raw and processed data from five domestic settings compiled by a mobile robot equipped with 4 RGB-D cameras and a 2D laser scanner. Its main purpose is to serve as a testbed for semantic mapping algorithms through the categorization of objects and/or rooms.

This dataset is unique in three aspects:

The provided data were captured with a rig of 4 RGB-D sensors with an overall field of view of 180°H. and 58°V., and with a 2D laser scanner.

It comprises diverse and numerous data: sequences of RGB-D images and laser scans from the rooms of five apartments (87,000+ observations were collected), topological information about the connectivity of these rooms, and 3D reconstructions and 2D geometric maps of the visited rooms.

The provided ground truth is dense, including per-point annotations of the categories of the objects and rooms appearing in the reconstructed scenarios, and per-pixel annotations of each RGB-D image within the recorded sequences

During the data collection, a total of 36 rooms were completely inspected, so the dataset is rich in contextual information of objects and rooms. This is a valuable feature, missing in most of the state-of-the-art datasets, which can be exploited by, for instance, semantic mapping systems that leverage relationships like pillows are usually on beds or ovens are not in bathrooms.

Detroit Street View (DSV) is an urban remote sensing program run by the Enterprise Geographic Information Systems (EGIS) Team within the Department of Innovation and Technology at the City of Detroit. The mission of Detroit Street View is ‘To continuously observe and document Detroit’s changing physical environment through remote sensing, resulting in freely available foundational data that empowers effective city operations, informed decision making, awareness, and innovation.’ LiDAR (as well as panoramic imagery) is collected using a vehicle-mounted mobile mapping system.

Due to variations in processing, index lines are not currently available for all existing LiDAR datasets, including all data collected before September 2020. Index lines represent the approximate path of the vehicle within the time extent of the given LiDAR file. The actual geographic extent of the LiDAR point cloud varies dependent on line-of-sight.

Compressed (LAZ format) point cloud files may be requested by emailing gis@detroitmi.gov with a description of the desired geographic area, any specific dates/file names, and an explanation of interest and/or intended use. Requests will be filled at the discretion and availability of the Enterprise GIS Team. Deliverable file size limitations may apply and requestors may be asked to provide their own online location or physical media for transfer.

LiDAR was collected using an uncalibrated Trimble MX2 mobile mapping system. The data is not quality controlled, and no accuracy assessment is provided or implied. Results are known to vary significantly. Users should exercise caution and conduct their own comprehensive suitability assessments before requesting and applying this data.

These data were automated to provide an accurate high-resolution historical shoreline of Mobile Bay, Alabama suitable as a geographic information system (GIS) data layer. These data are derived from shoreline maps that were produced by the NOAA National Ocean Service including its predecessor agencies which were based on an office interpretation of imagery and/or field survey. The NGS attribution scheme 'Coastal Cartographic Object Attribute Source Table (C-COAST)' was developed to conform the attribution of various sources of shoreline data into one attribution catalog. C-COAST is not a recognized standard, but was influenced by the International Hydrographic Organization's S-57 Object-Attribute standard so the data would be more accurately translated into S-57.

The Newer College Dataset is a large dataset with a variety of mobile mapping sensors collected using a handheld device carried at typical walking speeds for nearly 2.2 km through New College, Oxford. The dataset includes data from two commercially available devices - a stereoscopic-inertial camera and a multi-beam 3D LiDAR, which also provides inertial measurements. Additionally, the authors used a tripod-mounted survey grade LiDAR scanner to capture a detailed millimeter-accurate 3D map of the test location (containing ∼290 million points).

Using the map the authors inferred centimeter-accurate 6 Degree of Freedom (DoF) ground truth for the position of the device for each LiDAR scan to enable better evaluation of LiDAR and vision localisation, mapping and reconstruction systems. The dataset combines both built environments, open spaces and vegetated areas so as to test localization and mapping systems such as vision-based navigation, visual and LiDAR SLAM, 3D LIDAR reconstruction and appearance-based place recognition.

This map presents transportation data, including highways, roads, railroads, and airports for the world.

The map was developed by Esri using Esri highway data; Garmin basemap layers; HERE street data for North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South America and Central America, India, most of the Middle East and Asia, and select countries in Africa. Data for Pacific Island nations and the remaining countries of Africa was sourced from OpenStreetMap contributors. Specific country list and documentation of Esri's process for including OSM data is available to view.

The i.c.sens Visual-Inertial-LiDAR Dataset is a data set for the evaluation of dead reckoning or SLAM approaches in the context of mobile robotics. It consists of street-level monocular RGB camera images, a front-facing 180° point cloud, angular velocities, accelerations and an accurate ground truth trajectory. In total, we provide around 77 GB of data resulting from a 15 minutes drive, which is split into 8 rosbags of 2 minutes (10 GB) each. Besides, the intrinsic camera parameters and the extrinsic transformations between all sensor coordinate systems are given. Details on the data and its usage can be found in the provided documentation file.
