 # Content:
This dataset contains:
 - Sequences:
    RGB images acquired by the Intel Realsense LiDAR L515 camera [1], which have been calibrated by software [2][3].

 - LiDAR_DepthMaps:
    Depth maps acquired by the Intel Realsense LiDAR L515 camera have been registered to Sequences and calibrated by software [2][3].

 - DERS_DepthMaps:
    High-accurate depth maps are estimated by DERS [4] (Depth Estimation Reference Software). The inputs are from Sequences. 

 - cfgs/DERS:
    Configuration files for implementing the DERS. Please be aware of setting your own system path to reading these files.

 - cam_params.json:
    file in OMAF coordinates system (Camera position: X: forwards, Y: left, Z: up, Rotation: yaw, pitch, roll) [5]
