Time stamp for each LiDAR point #26

Open Joanna-HE opened 1 month ago

Joanna-HE commented 1 month ago

Hi, can the livox_laser_simulation provide the exact time stamp for each LiDAR point?

I hope to hearing from you~

georgflick commented 1 month ago

they are all generated at the same time, so I guess you can just use header time?

I have checked the value of 'time' for each LiDAR point belonging to the same scan, and found the they are different from each other? If all the point are sampled at the same time, why the time value for each point is different?

Hope to hearing from you~

Best regards,

On the real sensor, due to the spinning of the sensor, each point has an offset_timestamp. But afaik that is not simulated in the livox_laser_simulation.

I just had a quick look and in the csv file from the sensors, there is also an entry for time. Maybe you can use that to populate the time value for each point?

Hi, thanks for your prompt response. By using the entry for time, I can get the time value for each point. But is it at this time that the simulated laser point is emitted? If the LiDAR sensor is in motion, will the points of one scan have a motion distortion?

Hope to hearing from you~

Best regards,
