SZTAKI-CityCDLoc

Notes on the Dataset
- The second epoch is split into multiple frames, from which some are available as sparser, but annotated variants (change labels + registration information). We only use the annotated data for computing the statistics (all frames fused into one point cloud).
- Semantic labels are only available for the first epoch.
