+## Istanbul Open Dataset
+
+The dataset is collected in the following route. Tunnels and bridges are annotated on the image.
+The included specific areas into the dataset are:
+
+- Galata Bridge (Small Bridge)
+- Eurasia Tunnel (Long Tunnel with High Elevation Changes)

+### Leo Drive - Mapping Kit Sensor Data
+
+This dataset contains data from the portable mapping kit used for general mapping purposes.
+
+The data contains data from the following sensors:
+
+- 1 x Applanix POS LVX GNSS/INS System
+- 1 x Hesai Pandar XT32 LiDAR
+
+**For sensor calibrations, `/tf_static` topic is added.**
+
+### Data Links
+
+- You can find the produced full point cloud map, corner feature point cloud map and
+  surface feature point cloud map here:
+
+  - [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_jiQod4lO6-V2NDEr3d-M3XF_Nqmc0Xf?usp=drive_link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_jiQod4lO6-V2NDEr3d-M3XF_Nqmc0Xf?usp=drive_link)
+  - Exported point clouds are exported via downsampling with 0.2 meters and 0.5 meters voxel grids.
+
+- You can find the ROS 2 bag which is collected simultaneously with the mapping data:
+
+  - [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17zXiBeYlM90gQ5hV6EAWaoBTnNFoVPML?usp=drive_link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17zXiBeYlM90gQ5hV6EAWaoBTnNFoVPML?usp=drive_link)
+  - Due to the simultaneous data collection, we can assume that the point cloud maps and GNSS/INS
+    data are the ground truth data for this rosbag.
+
+- Additionally, you can find the raw data used for mapping at the below link:
+  - [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HmWYkxF5XvVCR27R8W7ZqO7An4HlJ6lD?usp=drive_link](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1HmWYkxF5XvVCR27R8W7ZqO7An4HlJ6lD?usp=drive_link)
+  - Point clouds are collected as PCAP and feature-matched GNSS/INS data exported to a txt file.
+
+### Localization Performance Evaluation with Autoware

+#### Message Explanations
+
+Used drivers for sensors give output in default ROS 2 message types and their own ROS 2 message
+types for additional information. Following topics are the default ROS 2 message types:
+
+- `/applanix/lvx_client/imu_raw`
+
+  - Gives the output of INS system in ENU. Due to the 9-axis IMU, `yaw` value demonstrates the
+    heading value of the sensor.
+
+- `/applanix/lvx_client/twist_with_covariance`
+
+  - Gives the twist output of the sensor.
+
+- `/applanix/lvx_client/odom`
+
+  - Gives the position and orientation of the sensor from the starting point of the ROS 2 driver.
+    Implemented with `GeographicLib::LocalCartesian`.
+
+    **This topic is not related to the wheel odometry.**
+
+- `/applanix/lvx_client/gnss/fix`
+
+  - Gives the latitude, longitude and height values of the sensors.
+
+    **Ellipsoidal height of WGS84 ellipsoid is given as height value.**
+
+- `/pandar_points`
+
+  - Gives the point cloud from the LiDAR sensor.
