### Dataset Description

The Nordland dataset captures a 728 km railway journey in Norway across four seasons: spring, summer, fall, and winter. 
It is organised into four folders, each named after a season and containing 35,768 images. 

These images maintain a one-to-one correspondence across folders. 
For each traverse, the corresponding ground truth data is available in designated .csv files. 

We have also included a file named `nordland_imageNames.txt`, which offers a filtered list of images. 
This selection excludes segments captured when the train's speed fell below 15 km/h, as determined by the accompanying GPS data.


### Our Utilisation 

We have used this dataset for the three publications below: 

* Ensembles of Modular SNNs with/without sequence matching: [Applications of Spiking Neural Networks in Visual Place Recognition](https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.13186)

* Modular SNN: [Ensembles of Compact, Region-specific & Regularized Spiking Neural Networks for Scalable Place Recognition (ICRA 2023)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2209.08723) DOI: [10.1109/ICRA48891.2023.10160749](https://doi.org/10.1109/ICRA48891.2023.10160749)

* Non-modular SNN: [Spiking Neural Networks for Visual Place Recognition via Weighted Neuronal Assignments (RAL + ICRA2022)](https://arxiv.org/abs/2109.06452) DOI: [10.1109/LRA.2022.3149030](https://doi.org/10.1109/LRA.2022.3149030)
