An experimental study of mobile device localization

The objective of this experiment was to generate a dataset to be used for benchmarking text-based SLAM algorithms. A Google Tango and Android application were used and developed specifically for this experiment. The Tango logged visual-inertial-odometry, images, and depth readings at a rate of 1 hz each. The dataset was taken over 2 floors of MIT's New House dormitory and was taken over the span of half an hour, covers about 3 miles of distance, and is 270 megabytes in size. The dataset taken and the Android application developed for the taking the data have been made publicly available for reuse.
