The NCLT dataset is a large scale, long-term autonomy dataset for robotics research collected on the University of Michigan’s North Campus. The dataset consists of omnidirectional imagery, 3D lidar, planar lidar, GPS, and proprioceptive sensors for odometry collected using a Segway robot. The dataset was collected to facilitate research focusing on long-term autonomous operation in changing environments. The dataset is comprised of 27 sessions spaced approximately biweekly over the course of 15 months. The sessions repeatedly explore the campus, both indoors and outdoors, on varying trajectories, and at different times of the day across all four seasons. This allows the dataset to capture many challenging elements including: moving obstacles (e.g., pedestrians, bicyclists, and cars), changing lighting, varying viewpoint, seasonal and weather changes (e.g., falling leaves and snow), and long-term structural changes caused by construction projects.

The Retrieval-SFM dataset is used for instance image retrieval. The dataset contains 28559 images from 713 locations in the world. Each image has a label indicating the location it belongs to. Most locations are famous man-made architectures such as palaces and towers, which are relatively static and positively contribute to visual place recognition. The training dataset contains various perceptual changes including variations in viewing angles, occlusions and illumination conditions, etc.

AmsterTime dataset offers a collection of 2,500 well-curated images matching the same scene from a street view matched to historical archival image data from Amsterdam city. The image pairs capture the same place with different cameras, viewpoints, and appearances. Unlike existing benchmark datasets, AmsterTime is directly crowdsourced in a GIS navigation platform (Mapillary). In turn, all the matching pairs are verified by a human expert to verify the correct matches and evaluate the human competence in the Visual Place Recognition (VPR) task for further references.

ALTO is a vision-focused dataset for the development and benchmarking of Visual Place Recognition and Localization methods for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. The dataset is composed of two long (approximately 150km and 260km) trajectories flown by a helicopter over Ohio and Pennsylvania, and it includes high precision GPS-INS ground truth location data, high precision accelerometer readings, laser altimeter readings, and RGB downward facing camera imagery.The dataset also comes with reference imagery over the flight paths, which makes this dataset suitable for VPR benchmarking and other tasks common in Localization, such as image registration and visual odometry.

FAS100K is a large-scale visual localization dataset. This dataset is comprised of two traverses of 238 and 130 kms respectively where the latter is a partial repeat of the former. The data was collected using stereo cameras in Australia under sunny day conditions. It covers a variety of road and environment types including urban and rural areas. The raw image data from one of the cameras streaming at 5 Hz constitutes 63,650 and 34,497 image frames for the two traverses respectively.

The San Francisco Landmark Dataset contains a database of 1.7 million images of buildings in San Francisco with ground truth labels, geotags, and calibration data, as well as a difficult query set of 803 cell phone images taken with a variety of different camera phones. The data is originally acquired by vehicle-mounted cameras with wide-angle lenses capturing spherical panoramic images. For all visible buildings in each panorama, a set of overlapping perspective images is generated.
