PRCV 2022: The FusionPortable-VSLAM Challenge

Dataset | 🪧 Challenge | 🏫 RAM-LAB | 🧱 VisDrone | 📧 Email | 📝 Docs | 📃 Paper

# Introduction
  • This visual SLAM benchmark is based on the FusionPortable dataset, which covers a variety of environments in The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology campus by utilizing multiple platforms for data collection. It provides a large range of difficult scenarios for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM).
  • All these sequences are characterized by structure-less areas and varying illumination conditions to best represent the real-world scenarios and pose great challenges to the SLAM algorithms which were verified in confined lab environments.

Evaluation

method

  • The submission will be ranked based on the completeness and frequency of the trajectory as well as on the position accuracy (ATE). The score is based on the ATE of individual points on the trajectory. Points with the error smaller than a distance threshold are added to your final score. This evaluation scheme is inspired by HILTI Challenge.

  • Output trajectories should be transformed into the body_imu frame, We will align the trajectory with the dense ground truth points using a rigid transformation. Then the Absolute Trajectory Error (ATE) of a set of discrete point is computed. At each ground truth point, extra penalty points are added to the final score depending on the amount of error at this point:

    Error Score (points)
    <= 5cm 10
    <= 30cm 6
    <= 50cm 3
    <= 100cm 1
    > 100cm 0
  • Each sequence will be evaluated over a maximum of 200 points, which leads to a maximum of $N\times 200$ points being evaluated among $N$ sequences.

Submission Guidelines

  • Trajectory Results

    • Please upload a .zip file consisting of a list of text files named as the sequence name shown as follows:
    traj/20220215_canteen_night.txt
    traj/20220215_garden_night.txt
    traj/20220219_MCR_slow_00.txt
    traj/20220226_campus_road_day.txt
    ....
    
    • These text files should put in a folder of "traj", and then compress as a *.zip file, such as "traj.zip"
    image-20220808182432457
    • The text files should have the following contents(TUM format):
    1644928761.036623716 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 1.0
    ....
    

    Each row contains timestamp_s tx ty tz qx qy qz qw. The timestamps are in the unit of second which are used to establish temporal correspondences with the groundtruth. The first pose should be no later than the starting time specified above, and only poses after the starting time will be used for evaluation.

    • The poses should specify the poses of the body IMU in the world frame. If the estimated poses are in the frame of other sensors, one should transform these poses into the world frame of the body IMU as T_bodyw_body = T_body_sensor * T_sensorw_sensor * T_body_sensor^(-1);.
  • Do not publicly release your trajectory estimates, as we might re-use some of the datasets for future competitions.

  • A team can only register one account. Quota can only be obtained by joining the WeChat group. In order to prevent the problem of a team registering multiple accounts, this competition requires all members of the participating team to join the WeChat group. And the old account cannot be used, you need to re-register a new account.

FAQ

  • How are the frames defined on the sensor setup?

The picture below is a schematic illustration of the reference frames (red = x, green = y, blue = z):

  • Is the ground truth available?

We will provide some sample datasets along with their ground truth collected with the same sensor kit, but the ground truth for the challenge sequences is not available. However, you can submit your own results in the website evaluation system for evaluation.The ground truth for all challenge sequences will finally be announced at the PRCV WORKSHOP in October.
