+ # TextRadar Dataset
18
+
19
+ TextRadar is a multimodal indoor RF sensing dataset introduced in the our paper **“3D Occupancy-Language Fields from mmWave Radar.”**
20
+
21
+ It contains synchronized high-resolution mmWave radar (TI MMWCAS-RF-EVM), LiDAR, and IMU measurements collected using a mobile robotic platform across **7 indoor buildings**.
22
+
23
+ The dataset supports research in RF imaging, depth estimation, robot localization, and multimodal perception.
24
+
25
+ ## Dataset Details
26
+
27
+ - **~20k synchronized RF/LiDAR samples**
28
+ - **7 indoor buildings**
29
+ - **25 robot trajectories**
30
+ - Approximately **461 GB of processed data**
31
+ - **Curated by:** Haowen Lai, Zhiwei Zheng, and Mingmin Zhao, WAVES Lab, University of Pennsylvania
32
+ - **License:** CC BY 4.0

38
+ ## Dataset Structure
39
+
40
+ The dataset contains two main components.
41
+
42
+ ### Raw Data
43
+
44
+ Raw recordings include:
45
+
46
+ - mmWave radar I/Q measurements
47
+ - synchronized LiDAR measurements
48
+ - synchronized IMU measurements
49
+ - timestamps
50
+
51
+ The raw data are intended for researchers working on radar signal processing, motion estimation, beamforming, and RF imaging.
52
+
53
+ ### Processed Data
54
+
55
+ Processed data include:
56
+
57
+ - 3D RF heatmaps
58
+ - LiDAR-derived range ground truth
59
+ - glass masks
60
+
61
+ These data can be used directly for training and evaluating machine-learning models without rerunning the full radar-processing pipeline.
62
+
63
+ ## Recommended Split
64
+
65
+ The original TextRadar experiments use **leave-one-building-out (LOBO)** evaluation.
66
+
67
+ For each experiment:
68
+
69
+ - 6 buildings are used for training
70
+ - 1 building is held out for testing
71
+
72
+ This split is recommended when evaluating generalization to unseen environments.
73
+
74
+ ## Data Collection
75
+
76
+ Data were collected using a robotic platform equipped with:
77
+
78
+ - **TI MMWCAS-RF-EVM** mmWave FMCW radar
79
+ - **Ouster 64-beam LiDAR**
80
+ - IMU
81
+ - rotating radar assembly
82
+
83
+ The rotating radar forms a synthetic cylindrical array for panoramic 3D RF imaging.
84
+
85
+ LiDAR measurements provide geometric ground truth, while synchronized radar measurements are processed into 3D RF heatmaps.
86
+
87
+ ## Annotations
88
+
89
+ Range and geometric ground truth are derived primarily from synchronized LiDAR measurements.
90
+
91
+ ## Uses
92
+
93
+ TextRadar is intended for research in areas including:
94
+
95
+ - RF and mmWave sensing
96
+ - 3D RF imaging
97
+ - depth and range estimation
98
+ - surface-normal estimation
99
+ - robot localization
100
+ - RF–LiDAR multimodal learning
101
+ - cross-building generalization
102
+
103
+ ## Limitations
104
+
105
+ The dataset was collected in **7 indoor buildings** and may not generalize directly to outdoor environments.
106
+
107
+ Results may also depend on the specific radar configuration, sensor mounting, and acquisition setup used in TextRadar.
108
+
109
+ LiDAR is used as geometric ground truth but can be unreliable on transparent surfaces such as glass. Glass masks are included to help identify these regions.
