April 28, 2008          Wrong association in circle data set

In the data set in run dlr-spatial_cognition-e there is one wrong annotated ID. The ID 386 is used for two different landmarks. Thanks to Shoudong Huang who found this mistake, when using the data set. You can download the data set again or just the important file: map.circles.

April 25, 2008          Another data set update

We updated the data set again. It now contains more runs through the building. Not all runs are annotated but they are usable for example for comparision. We also changed the naming conventions of the files because it looks like the data set could get more popular and then it should have a name. Because the building where the robot makes its rounds is the DLR (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft und Raumfahrt) and the working group where this data set is maintained is the SFB/TR8 Spatial Cognition at the Universität Bremen it's now called DLR-Spatial_Cognition Data Set.
There is also a new video with the line landmarks with the correct annotation

April 22, 2008          Data set update

We have updated the data set used for the workshop. We have now complete ground truth for the lines set. Please download the data set again or download only the important file (map.lines) and put it into the data set directory.
If you have any questions related to data set please contact the organizers. There is also a new FAQ section for the data set.

April 16, 2008          Submission deadline extended

Other time contraints made us move the submissions date. You can now submit your extended abstract until May 26.
The Notification of acceptance will be given on May 30.
