Donate your rosbag (Cloudini benchmark)

Hi,

as my presentation about Cloudini was accepted at ROSCon 2025, I want to come prepared with an automated benchmarking suite that measure performance over a wide range of datasets.

You can contribute to this donating a rosbag!!!

Thanks for your help. Let’s make pointcloud smaller together :pinched_fingers:

Can I give it to you in person at ROSCon?

I will warn you that I already get pretty good compression on my bags.

I saw this list before in this thread: Rosbag dataset hub, thanks @Katherine_Scott and @avatar042 for putting this together.

It contains some public available datasets like Spot robot validation data

However, there are a lot of ROS1 bag though… so I don’t know if they are what you are looking for.

Just submitted a GH issue and starred your repo! I know some people who are also struggling with point cloud compression. Keep up the good work!

nice. I will have a look for sure :slightly_smiling_face:

Anyway, if people want to make sure that I optimize for their data, they can still contribute!

The compression ratio is affected a LOT by the kind of PointCloud2 fields being used.

Someone already knew…
