SLAMcore Dataset Recorder¶
The SLAMcore SDK enables you to record the camera and IMU data streams and store them under a dataset on disk, via the SLAMcore Dataset Recorder application.
Usage¶
To record a dataset using your camera, run the following from a terminal window:
# Launch the SLAMcore Dataset Recorder
$ slamcore_dataset_recorder
Application UI¶

To change the dataset’s destination directory, click on the folder icon 
.
To record a dataset, press the red Record button 
or hit the
space bar key. The application will display the duration of the current dataset
recording.
To stop recording, press the blue Stop button 
or hit the space
bar key again. Once the dataset has been written to disk, the application will
display a pop-up with the path to the recorded dataset directory, as in the
figure below.

Warning
Do not close the application until the pop-up is displayed to ensure all data is written to disk.
Once written, the dataset can be used as input to other SLAMcore software tools.
