LIDAR scan, photos and image-based reconstruction of sofa corner

This data set provides photographs and a continuous LIDAR scan (using the Velodyne VLP-16) of a sofa corner at Simula Research Laboratory that were created for the BUISAR project funded by the researcher council of Norway (project number 270951). A  3D reconstruction of the sofa corner was created using Meshroom (http://github.com/alicevision/meshroom) with support from the LADIO project.

The LIDAR scan takes the form of a network trace (.pcap file). This file can be read and interpreted as a point cloud by the Point Cloud Library (PCL, https://github.com/PointCloudLibrary/pcl). Since the VLP-16 comes without motion sensors, the user of the LIDAR scan can either interpret the data as a series of frames, or attempt to align the recorded voxels in a global space. No ground truth for this is provided.
