Drive

The vehicle behind
every measurement.

An 11-device multi-modal collection system including 360° 4D Imaging Radar. Every output passes through standardized calibration and precision time-sync (PTP/gPTP), delivered ready to use with no alignment work.

01 — In the Wild

What the vehicle sees, in real time.

The RIDE vehicle's real-world driving and, at the same moment, the multi-sensor stream flowing inside it — where every frame of this dataset begins.

02 — Collection Pipeline

From road capture to dataset publish.

From pre-collection calibration checks to the Dataset DB update — an operator checks and initiates collection, alignment/conversion/GT generation run automatically, and final quality checks and publish are automated, then expert-reviewed.

03 — Stack

The vehicle, the sensors, and the logging tool — together.

The three pillars behind data consistency and reliability — a dedicated collection vehicle, an 11-device multi-sensor stack, and a lossless logging tool.

Vehicle Platform

Hyundai Santa Fe TM

Roof-rack sensor mount · in-house onboard compute. A dedicated platform that guarantees consistent collection across scenarios.

Multi-sensor Stack

11 Sensor Devices

Centered on AIR4D (AFI920) as the reference sensor — 360° 4D Imaging Radar × 4 · LiDAR × 1 · Camera × 5 · GNSS/IMU × 1. Every sensor calibrated into a shared base_link frame.

Logging Tool

Multi-sensor Logger

Hardware-level time-sync · lossless local recording · raw and refined/synchronized data emitted together.
