Urb3DCD-v2

Notes on the Dataset

  • There are multiple point cloud pairs for the three scenes, whereas each point cloud is unique in the buildings recorded, as well as noise, density, and scanning angle. However, the point cloud pairs follow no chronology, i.e., the change labels are only valid within a point cloud pair.
