Is the alpha (observation angle) parameter needed for code to run? #31

Hello @charlesq34

In the following line of the code we extract the alpha parameter of the KITTI data. My question is that is this alpha necessary for the rest of the code to run, since I am looking to use it on a different dataset which doesn't have the alpha parameter defined.

Thanks, Sohom

The alpha is the observation view angle which is not used in the code. and the alpha is different from the frustum angle.
