– The purpose of this paper is to present a localization and mapping data set acquired by a fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The data set was collected for educational and research purposes: to save time in dealing with hardware and to compare the results with a benchmark data set. The data were collected in standard Robot Operating System (ROS) format. The environment, fixed-wing, and sensor configuration are explained in detail. GPS coordinates of the fixed-wing are also available as ground truth. The data set is available for download (www.ece.unb.ca/COBRA/open_source.htm).
– The data were collected in standard ROS format. The environment, fixed-wing, and sensor configuration are explained in detail.
– The data set can be used for target localization and mapping. The data were collected to assist algorithm developments and help researchers to compare their results. Robotic data sets are specifically important when they are related to unmanned systems such as fixed-wing aircraft.
– The Robotics Data Set Repository (RADISH) by A. Howard and N. Roy hosts 41 well-known data sets with different sensors; however, there is no fixed-wing data set in RADISH. This work presents two data sets collected by a fixed-wing aircraft using ROS standards. The data sets can be used for target localization and SLAM.
