The Bremen MSS Datasets provide Mechanical Scanning Sonar (MSS) data recorded from an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) localized with ground truth using an optical tracking system. The data can be accessed and downloaded from https://robotics.constructor.university/DATA/BremenMSS/, which is a browsable web-directory. The whole data and documentation can also be downloaded as a single zip-file from https://robotics.constructor.university/DATA/BremenMSS.zip – please note that this is a large file with 5.5 GB.
The following white-paper provides a technical description of the data. As also described in more detail in the technical whit-paper, the data is provided as ROS-bags and in addition as YAML-files. We provide a ROS2 package including the message definitions for an easy use of the bag-files; it is provided on Github at https://github.com/constructor-robotics/datasetMessageDefinitions.git.
