Find Public Mobile LiDAR Data #1

Open jfemiani opened 6 years ago

jfemiani commented 6 years ago

In order to share code we need some data, at least for testing and demo. The SRP data is tricky to share (I have sent an email asking permission already).

We need to find public mobile or dense LiDAR or range data with imagery to go with it.

Possible sources:

What we need is a data folder with Makefile that pulls down the data and then processes into a form we can use.

I should be able to do this:

cd data 
make kitti
make nyu
make ford

or just

make data

The result should be that the datasets are downloaded (I suggest targets like download-kitti) and then extracted (extract-kitti) and then split into batch-sized-chunks. Put the intermediate data in folders with names that uniquely depend on the way data is processed, like data/intermediate/WxHxD-0xbfff/*.pkl, where 0xbfff is supposed to be a hash of settings like the volume-min, volume-max, and any other config settings that might effect the output.

Use Makefiles so that data only gets processed when it is absolutely needed.
