Detailed Description

A C++ interface to Velodyne laser scanners (HDL-64, HDL-32, VLP-16), working on Linux and Windows.

(Using this class requires WinPCap as a run-time dependency in Windows). It can receive data from real devices via an Ethernet connection or parse a WireShark PCAP file for offline processing. The choice of online vs. offline operation is taken upon calling initialize(): if a PCAP input file has been defined, offline operation takes place and network is not listened for incomming packets.

Parsing dual return scans requires a VLP-16 with firmware version 3.0.23 or newer. While converting the scan into a point cloud in mrpt::obs::CObservationVelodyneScan you can select whether to keep the strongest, the last or both laser returns.

XML calibration files are not mandatory for VLP-16 and HDL-32, but they are for HDL-64.

Grabbing live data (as a user)

Use the application velodyne-view to visualize the LIDAR output in real-time (optionally saving to a PCAP file) or to playback a PCAP file.
Use rawlog-grabber to record a dataset in MRPT's format together with any other set of sensors. See example config file: MRPT\share\mrpt\config_files\rawlog-grabber\velodyne.ini

Grabbing live data (programmatically)

See CGenericSensor for a general overview of the sequence of methods to be called: loadConfig(), initialize(), doProcess().
Or use this class inside the application rawlog-grabber. See example config files: MRPT\share\mrpt\config_files\rawlog-grabber\velodyne.ini

See the source code of the example application [MRPT]/apps/velodyne-view (velodyne-view web page) for more details.

Playing back a PCAP file:

It is common to save Velodyne datasets as Wireshark's PCAP files. These files can be played back with tools like bittwist, which emit all UDP packets in the PCAP log. Then, use this class to receive the packets as if they come from the real sensor.

Alternatively, if MRPT is linked against libpcap, this class can directly parse a PCAP file to simulate reading from a device offline. See method setPCAPInputFile() and config file parameter ``

To compile with PCAP support: In Debian/Ubuntu, install libpcap-dev. In Windows, install WinPCap developer packages + the regular WinPCap driver.

Configuration and usage:

Data is returned as observations of type:

mrpt::obs::CObservationVelodyneScan for one or more "data packets" (refer to Velodyne usage manual)
mrpt::obs::CObservationGPS for GPS (GPRMC) packets, if available via the synchronization interface of the device. See those classes for documentation on their fields.

Configuration includes setting the device IP (optional) and sensor model (mandatory only if a calibration file is not provided). These parameters can be set programmatically (see methods of this class), or via a configuration file with CGenericSensor::loadConfig() (see example config file section below).

About timestamps:

Each gathered observation of type mrpt::obs::CObservationVelodyneScan is populated with two timestamps, one for the local PC timestamp and, if available, another one for the GPS-stamped timestamp. Refer to the observation docs for details.

The user must call this method in a timely fashion to grab data as it it generated by the device. The minimum call rate should be the expected number of data packets/second (!=scans/second). Checkout Velodyne user manual if in doubt.

Parameters

[out]	outScan	Upon return, an empty smart pointer will be found here if no new data was available. Otherwise, a valid scan.
[out]	outGPS	Upon return, an empty smart pointer will be found here if no new GPS data was available. Otherwise, a valid GPS reading.

Returns: true if no error ocurred (even if there was no new observation). false if any communication error occurred.
