DISCOMAN: Dataset of Indoor SCenes for Odometry, Mapping And Navigation

Abstract

We present a novel dataset for training and benchmarking semantic SLAM methods. The dataset consists of 200 long sequences, each one containing 3000-5000 data frames. We generate the sequences using realistic home layouts. For that we sample trajectories that simulate motions of a simple home robot, and then render the frames along the trajectories. Each data frame contains a) RGB images generated using physically-based rendering, b) simulated depth measurements, c) simulated IMU readings and d) ground truth occupancy grid of a house. Our dataset serves a wider range of purposes compared to existing datasets and is the first large-scale benchmark focused on the mapping component of SLAM. The dataset is split into train/validation/test parts sampled from different sets of virtual houses. We present benchmarking results for both classical geometry-based [1], [2] and recent learning-based [3] SLAM algorithms, a baseline mapping method [4], semantic segmentation [5] and panoptic segmentation [6]. The dataset and source code for reproducing our experiments will be publicly available at the time of publication.
