Is it possible to configure the horizontal resolution of the lidar like the vertical resolution? Because the default point cloud looks very dense and a high resolution may not be necessary to reduce the amount of data transmitted.
Dear Mark,
Thank you for your inquiry. In the system, there is only a parameter for ‘horizontal angle’ rather than ‘horizontal resolution.’ This has been the standard configuration and has not changed recently.
Regarding the computation of the ‘size’ (or frustum resolution), it is determined as follows:
size = Point2I(int(std::max(2u, getNextPow2(u32(targetSteps / f32(performanceMaxHzSteps))))), parameters.verticalResolution);
The number of rays per second is fixed at raysPerSecond = 2200000.0f. While this might be a more recent development, the value is currently fixed and not exposed for modification.
We appreciate your feedback and encourage further questions or suggestions to enhance clarity and usability.
@epigova Thanks for clarification!
Would it be possible in a future release to add the ability to specify the number of rows (e.g. resolution: 0.1° or 2048 measurements per rotation for each channel)? This would allow a more precise definition of the sensor specification and also the possibility to reduce the amount of data.
Dear Mark,
Thank you for your suggestion! We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration.
