Datasets

We present a unique UWB benchmark dataset, called Q-Drone UWB benchmark. Q-Drone system, a UAV with UWB network built at York University, was used for acquiring this benchmark over five different sites, which include an indoor, open sports field, near to a building with glasses, semi-open tunnel and underneath bridge. The benchmark data were acquired by flying for a total of 1 h 50 min 28 sec flight time and about 4.3 km traveling distances with different maneuvering patterns and spatial configuration between UAV and UWB anchors as shown in the following table.

Site Environment Location Area
Indoor Indoor Oshawa, Ontario, Canada 26m(w) x 33m(l)
Field Outdoor, open sport field Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada 12m(w) x 13m(l)
Building Outdoor, close to building Newmarket, Ontario, Canada 7m(w) x 7m(l)
Bridge Semi-open outdoor, under a concrete-metal bridge Niagara, Ontario, Canada 10m(w) x 23m(l)
Tunnel Semi-open outdoor, under a metal bridge Oshawa, Ontario, Canada 8m(w) x 30m(l)
