Object Change Detection

Notes on the Dataset

  • During writing the paper, the download link for the dataset stopped working (timeout). It is unclear whether the dataset was removed or is only temporarily unavailable. In any case, another dataset that uses the same raw scans is available here. The point clouds differ very slightly and are split into surfaces. Also the first epoch is not available. However, ROS bags for all scans are provided.
