Evaluation of LiDAR localization performance using the NCLT 2012-03-31 dataset, reporting mean position and orientation errors.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | LiDAR Localization |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | NCLT 2012-03-31 |
| Metric | Position Error (m) |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 33 of 33 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Position Error (m)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/lidar-localization-on-nclt-2012-03-31.md?metric=Position%20Error%20(m)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Orientation Error (°)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/lidar-localization-on-nclt-2012-03-31.md?metric=Orientation%20Error%20(%C2%B0)>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
