Discussion

Can we know more about each device, for example:

• What is the FOV of the event camera?
• Did you simulate camera distortion? If so, is it possible to know its parameters?
• Did you simulate noise and artifacts in the case of the rangemeter and the IMU?
• What is the global frame, and where is its origin?

I don't think this information is vital to solving the problem, but it is certainly something we usually know in real life.

Thanks.

Thanks for your questions! All very relevant of course and source of deep dicussions during the setup of the competition.

In general, we decided to not release much info for ELOPE to make inverse methods more relevant and thus learning from training data more insightful.

Concerning the location of the origin of the global frame, that information would disclose the landing location on the Moon surface which is something we deliberately wanted to keep hidden.

Hi! 

Also regarding the available measurements and data: the challenge description mentions that we would have access to IMU data, but there are no accelerometer measurements included. I just wanted to confirm whether this was a deliberate choice or something that might have been missed unintentionally.

Thanks!

Thank for the question, we meant "some IMU measurements" intending the angular velocity. Linear accelerations were never intended to be released.
