Velodyne LIDAR module outputs the following channels:
Output channel name | Description |
---|---|
RPM | Is the set frequency of LIDAR sensor rotation measured in Hz by default. |
Laser intensity | Represents the enery of the reflected laser pulse. Coloring of the points is related to the intensity. |
Laser distance | Represents the distance or depth of the laser pulse, which practically means the distance of the surrouning objects from the LIDAR sensor. |
Latitude | Represents the latitude data obtained from the GNSS device. |
Longitude | Represents the longitude data obtained from the GNSS device. |
Altitude | Represents the altitude data obtained from the GNSS device. |
Direction | Represents the direction data obtained from the GNSS device. |
Velocity | Represents the velocity data obtained from the GNSS device. |
Used satellites | Represents the used satellites data obtained from the GNSS device. |
Absolute time | Represents the absolute time obtained from the GNSS device. |
