Stevens-VLP16-Dataset
This dataset is captured using a Velodyne VLP-16, which is mounted on an UGV - Clearpath Jackal, on Stevens Institute of Technology campus. The VLP-16 rotation rate is set to 10Hz. This data-set features over 20K scans and many loop-closures. The TF transform in the bags is provided by LeGO-LOAM (without enabling the loop-cloure function, pure lidar odometry). The whole mapping process is also recorded in videos.

/tf # not needed for running LeGO-LOAM, do not publish it when test with LeGO-LOAM
/imu/data # not aligned with VLP-16, only offers initial transformation guess, not necessary for running LeGO-LOAM
