mrpt::obs::VelodyneCalibration Struct Reference

Detailed Description

Velodyne calibration data, for usage in mrpt::obs::CObservationVelodyneScan.

It is mandatory to use some calibration data to convert Velodyne scans into 3D point clouds. Users should normally use the XML files provided by the manufacturer with each scanner, but default calibration files can be loaded with VelodyneCalibration::LoadDefaultCalibration().

Note

New in MRPT 1.4.0
