arXiv:2610.08982v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Magnetic field-based positioning is a resilient positioning technology that requires no external infrastructure and is hard to jam at scale. To facilitate research on magnetic field-based positioning for aerial platforms operating close to the Earth's surface, an open dataset is presented with measurements collected using an unmanned aerial vehicle carrying two optically pumped magnetometers, a type of quantum magnetometer, and a global navigation satellite system-aided inertial navigation system. The dataset includes measurements for both magnetic-field map learning and validation. Along with the dataset, a probabilistic framework for magnetic-field map learning and validation is presented and used to illustrate how the dataset may be used. Finally, we outline research directions that may be explored using the dataset.
