Convert the 16 SPOT stereo sequences the retired nightly evaluated from
the published processed HDF5, emitting the usual layout with a single
m3ed_spot-vo_slam.cfg covering both modes.

The stereo images exist only inside _data.h5, which runs 25-42 GB per
sequence because it also carries the event, LiDAR and IMU streams. The
compressed image chunks are about 6% of it by span, and HDF5 reaches them
through ordinary seeks, so the source is read over HTTP range requests
instead of downloaded: skatepark_2 transferred 2.73 GB of a 25.5 GB file
and staged nothing. Downloading all 16 would move roughly 600 GB.

Getting that to be fast needed two things beyond the range reader.
Blocks are kept near the chunk size and reads of a whole chunk bypass the
cache as an exact range, because the images sit 3-4 MB apart and
block-aligned fetches spend most of their bytes on event data: 32 MB
blocks read 1409 MB for 240 MB of images, exact reads 222 MB. And the
connection is reused, since a fresh TLS handshake per request cost about
1.7 s against roughly 0.1 s of payload, which alone was 5.4x.

Ground truth comes from _pose_gt.h5, whose FasterLIO poses describe the
left event camera rather than the OVC camera being evaluated, so
ovc/left/calib/T_to_prophesee_left is applied before the poses are made
relative. The two frames are 70 mm apart and that does not cancel under
rotation; on skatepark_2 it changes the measured path by 4.9 mm over
15.3 m. The retired output did not apply it, which is how its numbers
match the raw event-camera poses to 9 um of path length over 15 m.

Checked against the retired output on skatepark_2: images are
byte-identical on every sampled frame and the trajectory agrees to 490 um
rms per frame over 1200 steps. Four things differ deliberately.

- Calibration is read per sequence. The retired pipeline wrote one
  hardcoded intrinsic and baseline into all 16, which cannot be right for
  a dataset shipping a calibration session per recording group: it used
  focal 1057.546 and baseline 0.120062 m where this sequence publishes
  1058.535 and 0.119894 m.
- stereo.edex references frame_metadata.jsonl, so replay uses the real
  frame times. The retired EDEX omitted that and declared fps: 30, so
  replay synthesized timestamps 33.3 ms apart for a 25 Hz sensor.
- Each frame's pose is the pose at that frame's own timestamp. In the
  retired output the two are five frames apart, about 200 mm at this
  cadence: its images align with ours at an offset of six frames while
  its poses align at one, and each alignment is independently sharp.
- Images are written as mono8, which is what the sensor produces. The
  retired output replicated each pixel across three RGB channels, so this
  is 2.3x smaller for identical content, 1.63 GB against 3.78 GB here.

Frame counts sit a little below the retired ones, 1650 against 1659 on
skatepark_2, because the current release publishes 1652 OVC frames and
two of them fall outside the pose span. Pixel equality shows the image
data itself is unchanged.

Shared primitives grow to cover poses that arrive as matrices in a
non-camera frame: matrix_to_quaternion, trajectory_span, and the
body_from_camera argument to relative_ground_truth_lines, which now takes
frame timestamps rather than RGB-D frame pairs so a stereo dataset can
use it. h5py joins the package dependencies.

Registration in dataset_registry is left out, as it was for ICL-NUIM;
provisioning targets land together.
The EDEX camera "transform" is not a homogeneous pose. The reader takes its
rotation block as camera-from-rig and its translation as the camera centre
in rig coordinates, so the matrix means p_camera = R (p_rig - c). This
wrote a rig-from-camera pose, which left the rotation transposed.

The error is only 0.68 degrees, but on a 120 mm baseline at 1050 px focal
the true disparity at 10 m is about 12 px, so a transposed epipolar
rotation biases every disparity and rescales all depth. On skatepark_2 the
estimated path came out 198.5 m against 59.0 m of ground truth, a constant
3.36x, and odometry scored 134.26% ATE.

Bisected on that sequence, one input at a time:

  legacy data, this build                          4.76% ATE
  our data, our EDEX                             134.26%
  our data, no frame_metadata (synthesized fps)   143.82%
  legacy intrinsics, our transforms               98.59%
  our intrinsics, legacy transforms                2.64%
  our data, legacy camera block                    1.57%

So the flags and build were sound, the frame times were irrelevant, and the
near-identical intrinsics were not the cause. Transposing the rotation
while keeping the translation gives 3.53%; taking the full inverse gives
8088%, which confirms the translation is the camera centre and not the
pose translation.

With the fix, against the retired run on skatepark_2: 3.53% ATE against
4.51%, ARE 0.072 against 0.515, Kabsch 0.324 against 0.303. The rotation
gain is the ground-truth realignment, since the retired poses sat five
frames from their images.

M3ED is the first converter here that computes a non-identity camera
rotation, which is why this convention was never exercised: KITTI's
rectified camera 1 is an identity plus a baseline, the RGB-D converters are
single-camera, and EuRoC hardcodes its matrix from the retired pipeline. No
other converter is affected.

Also in this change:

- Convert all 19 published SPOT sequences rather than 16. The retired
  pipeline converted 19 and enabled 16; hard, srt_green_loop and stairwell
  are converted here too, so the corpus matches, and enabling them stays a
  registry decision.
- Emit m3ed_spot-vo.cfg and m3ed_spot-slam.cfg alongside the combined one,
  as KITTI and EuRoC do, so odometry can be reported without SLAM.
- Drop tests that restated literals: sequence counts, list ordering, and
  segment lengths. The counts that remain assert relationships, such as the
  combined config holding as many entries as the two single-mode ones.
Converting all 19 sequences reads about 45 GB over several hours, and an
interrupted run had to start over. A run here lost five hours when its
shell was reaped partway through the sixth sequence.

Add --skip-existing, which leaves a sequence alone only when every
artifact is present and both cameras hold exactly one image per frame. A
run interrupted mid-sequence is therefore redone rather than silently
accepted, since frame_metadata.jsonl is written after the images and its
presence alone would not catch a truncated image directory. Re-running the
same command now resumes.

Two changes make a slow transfer distinguishable from a broken one, after
an hour was spent deciding which of the two a traffic gap represented:

- Retries log the byte range, attempt and error. They were silent, so a
  retry storm and a slow server looked identical from outside.
- Conversion prints frames converted, elapsed time and rate every 256
  frames, so progress is in the log rather than only in file timestamps.

Lower the per-request timeout from 300 s to 60 s. A chunk is under a
megabyte and normally arrives in about a second, so 60 s is ample headroom
while bounding a socket that has stopped delivering. Measured against this
bucket, single range requests occasionally crawled for 80 s and then
succeeded; the old timeout waited them out with no output, where now they
are abandoned and retried on a fresh connection.

Finally, import h5py directly in the conversion tests instead of skipping
when it is absent. It is a declared dependency rather than an extra, so
its absence is a failure: skipping meant 27 tests vanished and the suite
still reported OK, which would have let CI pass without exercising any of
the conversion. This matches how the bag2edex tests already treat rosbags.

Adds calibration, timestamp, trajectory, stereo, image, ground-truth, EDEX, reporter configuration, provenance, output-completeness, and sequence-conversion logic with synthetic coverage.
Preparation CLI and project integration
tools/python_tools/cuvslam_tools/dataset_preparation/m3ed_spot/prepare.py, tools/python_tools/pyproject.toml, tools/python_tools/README.md
Adds remote and local source handling, sequence and frame controls, resumable conversion, artifact validation, the prepare_m3ed_spot entry point, dependency registration, documentation, and smoke checks.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e2214

M3ED SPOT conversion may still generate incorrect rotation-sensitive ground truth because of the event-camera transform direction, so that correctness issue should be resolved before merge. A smaller Ruff lint violation may also need correction.

Artifacts

Review follow-ups on the M3ED SPOT conversion.

The range reader now requires a ranged GET to come back as a 206 whose
Content-Range covers the span asked for, and reads at most one byte past
it. An origin that ignores Range answers 200 with the whole object, and
that body was read before the length check rejected it: 25-42 GB into
memory. A relative Location resolves against the URL that served it
rather than the URL the read started from, so a chained redirect no
longer retargets to the wrong object. Response header names are matched
case-insensitively, since a lowercase Content-Length, ETag or Location
otherwise breaks remote preparation.

--skip-existing now compares the frame limit an output was written
under, recorded in .frame_limit when --frame-limit truncated it, so a
prefix converted for local validation is not reused as a whole sequence.
--frame-limit itself rejects zero and negative values, where -1 used to
slice the last frame off every sequence and pass the artifact checks.

baseline_m is the length of the stereo offset rather than its x
component, and the README combined-report example names
m3ed_spot-vo_slam.cfg instead of the odometry-only config.

Every range read now sends the object's ETag as If-Range. A conversion
reads one object for tens of minutes and M3ED does republish files, so
without a validator a replaced file would be spliced into the output
unnoticed; with one, the origin answers the whole object and the 206
check refuses it before the body is read. A source that serves no strong
ETag is rejected at open, since nothing would detect the substitution.

The .frame_limit marker becomes .conversion_state.json and carries the
sequence metadata as well as the limit. --skip-existing reads that back,
so a resumed run describes the sequences it skipped with the same
calibration, baseline and source provenance as the run that made them,
where before it recorded only their frame counts. The state file cannot
live in the root dataset_metadata.json, which is written only when a
whole run finishes: exactly what a resumed run does not have. An output
from before the state file still reuses, on the frame counts alone,
rather than costing hours of network to re-read.

The redirect budget spends one request per redirect plus the one that
answers, where five redirects used to exhaust the loop and report too
many.

Comment thread tools/python_tools/cuvslam_tools/dataset_preparation/m3ed_spot/http_range.py Outdated
An absent state file means an output converted before the converter kept
state, which --skip-existing may take for a whole sequence. An unreadable
one means a write that failed, where a truncated prefix looks exactly
like a whole sequence, so it is converted again instead. The state file
is now replaced atomically, which leaves the previous state rather than
an unreadable one when a write is cut short.

A Content-Length that is not a number raised ValueError, which the CLI
does not catch and reported as a traceback; a negative one clamped every
read to nothing and surfaced as h5py failing on an apparently empty
file. Both are now rejected where the header is already checked.

The ground-truth test that stood in for the event-camera extrinsic
applied it in the opposite direction to the converter and only asserted
that the result differed from no extrinsic at all, so it held under
either direction. It now converts a rotating sequence end to end and
compares gt.txt against the camera poses it should hold, which fails by
decimetres if the extrinsic is inverted.

The converter merged in #144 but m3ed_spot was absent from DATASETS, so
nothing could build or upload its tarball. Register it with no EvalSpec,
the same shape tum and icl_nuim had between their converter landing and
their evaluation records.

Registering alone was not enough. Provisioning runs the registry on
PYTHONPATH only, which is right for a standard-library module, but a
converter is not one: convert_m3ed_spot imports numpy and Pillow at
module scope and prepare() imports h5py to read the processed HDF5
products. In ubuntu:24.04 with a bare venv, which is what
cuvslam-ci:local is, importing prepare fails with
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'numpy'.

Install the tools package before conversion rather than restating those
dependencies per dataset in an image. They are already declared in
tools/python_tools/pyproject.toml, so an image list would be the same
duplication the dataset registry removed from the shell. Measured at 72
seconds and a 1.4 GiB venv against conversions that run for tens of
minutes. The registry keeps its standard-library-only guarantee: it
validates in that container with nothing installed.

M3ED therefore needs no dataset-specific image, and exposing it in the
provisioning workflow is a one-line protected change.

Note for the next TartanGround run: provisioning now also installs the
package inside the TartanAir image. pyproject pins numpy and scipy to
the versions Dockerfile.dataset-provision already installs, so pip
should not move them, but confirm with dry_run=true before relying on
it.

Also stop using m3ed_spot as the unknown-dataset fixture. Registering a
real corpus should not fail a test about error messages.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
  * Added support for provisioning the M3ED Spot dataset.
* Dataset preparation now makes required conversion tools and
dependencies available automatically in temporary storage.

* **Tests**
* Updated dataset validation coverage to use a guaranteed-invalid
dataset identifier.

The converter landed in #144 and provisioning in #158 and #161, but
m3ed_spot carried no EvalSpec, so it never ran. Add one on
m3ed_spot-vo_slam.cfg, the combined config, with the stereo flags KITTI
and EuRoC use and an unrectified camera, since the EDEX keeps the
published polynomial distortion.

Full only. At 56 GiB staged and 57k frames evaluated in both modes it is
the most expensive record in the suite by a wide margin, and KITTI
already covers stereo pre-merge, so a PR would pay hours for nothing.
Smoke therefore stays KITTI, EuRoC and ICL-NUIM.

The 10 KPI entries are uncalibrated placeholders, as KITTI, EuRoC, TUM
and ICL-NUIM were seeded: expected=null reports SKIPPED under a soft
check. Their names come from dataset_registry kpi-keys, so the committed
table covers exactly the 50 keys the full suite can produce.

Merge after the provisioning run uploads m3ed_spot.tar. Staging resolves
the tarball from the registry, so until the object exists every
eval-enabled config fails before it evaluates anything.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **New Features**
- Added M3ED-SPOT as a full-suite evaluation dataset for stereo odometry
and SLAM performance.
- Added KPI baseline ranges to support performance tracking across
M3ED-SPOT evaluation metrics.

- **Tests**
- Updated evaluation coverage and validation checks to include M3ED-SPOT
in active dataset records and command-line reporting.
