UMA-SAR Datasets
The UMA-SAR Dataset is a collection of multimodal raw data captured from a manned all-terrain vehicle in the course of two realistic outdoor search and rescue (SAR) exercises for actual emergency responders conducted in Málaga (Spain) in 2018 and 2019. The sensor suite consisted of overlapping visible light (RGB) and thermal infrared (TIR) forward-looking monocular cameras, a Velodyne HDL-32three-dimensional (3D) lidar, as well as an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and two global positioning system (GPS) receivers as ground truth. Our mission was to collect a wide range of data from the SAR domain, including persons, vehicles, debris, and SAR activity on unstructured terrain. In particular, four data sequences were collected following closed loop routes during the exercises, with a total path length of 5.2 km and a total time of 77 min. Additionally, we provide three more sequences of the empty site (i.e., pre-exercise or post-exercise) for comparison purposes (an extra 4.9 km and 46 min). Furthermore, the data is offered both in human-readable format and as rosbag files, and two specific software tools are provided for extracting and adapting this dataset to the users’ preference. The review of previously published disaster robotics repositories indicates that this dataset can contribute to fill a gap regarding visual and thermal datasets and can serve as a research tool for cross-cutting areas such as multispectral image fusion, machine learning for scene understanding, person and object detection, and localization and mapping in unstructured environments.

SOFTWARE TOOLS
Sequence extractor: https://github.com/Robotics-Mechatronics-UMA/dataset_extract_sequence
This tool can be used to extract a sequence from an uncompressed data folder. The user can specify the start and end timestamps for the sequence as well as a subset of sensor modalities.

RGB CAMERA CALIBRATION
The camera_calibration ROS package was used to obtain the intrinsic parameters of the RGB camera. Images of a 11x7 chessboard (10 cm side) as well as calibration results are provided here: https://riuma.uma.es/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10630/23918/rgb_calibrationdata.tar.gz?sequence=9&isAllowed=y
