We present the Oxford Spires Dataset, captured in and around well-known landmarks in Oxford using a custom-built multi-sensor perception unit as well as a millimetre-accurate map from a terrestrial LiDAR scanner (TLS). The perception unit includes three global shutter colour cameras, an automotive 3D LiDAR scanner, and an inertial sensor — all precisely calibrated.

### Sample Usage
### Download the Dataset
You can download the dataset from Hugging Face using the provided script. You can specify which folders to download by changing the `example_pattern`. Core sequences are also defined in the script.
```bash
python scripts/dataset_download.py
```
### Install Python Tools
Install `oxspires_tools` to access Python utilities for using the dataset:
```bash
pip install .
```
To enable C++/Python bindings (requires PCL and Octomap):
```bash
BUILD_CPP=1 pip install .
```
Alternatively, use the provided Docker container:
```bash
docker compose -f .docker/oxspires/docker-compose.yml run --build oxspires_utils
```
### Generate Depth Images
The following script downloads synchronised images and LiDAR data from a sequence on Hugging Face and generates depth images, LiDAR overlaid on camera images, and surface normal images:
```bash
python scripts/generate_depth.py
```
