We don't recommend increasing the fov greater than 45. This issue explains why #559
Hi, thanks for the answer.
But, do you have any plans to change how the lidar camera is rendered? I think it should be done because sensors with fov greater than 45 are available now. As I wrote before, these are Ouster OS-0, RoboSense RS-Bperl and Hesai PandarQt. And even Velodyne has plans for the lidar with grater fov – VelaDome.
I cannot use two simulator sensors to represent one lidar, because I want to implement RoboSense RS-Bperl in simulation and it has a vertical fov from 0 to +90 degrees.
@BaltashovIlia No problem. We do have plans to improve and simulate real world sensors but we have a big release with major changes to simulator releasing soon and have not been able to work on this yet. This is definitely on our roadmap.
Hello LGSVL Team,
As I see in documentation, maximum FieldOfView is currently 45 degrees but what about other lidars with higher vertical field of view, like Ouster OS-0, RoboSense RS-Bperl and Hesai PandarQt?
I am trying to set FieldOfView greater when maximum allowed and getting incorrect point cloud. Here are some videos of the problem: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AHafykfL0x1Jc_0QnXH_v-JaTW-hWIuu?usp=sharing
To reproduce the incorrect point cloud copy this sensor configuration yaml and start San Francisco world:
The same problem can be reproduced with CenterAngle greater than allowed:
And even setting FieldOfView to 44 and CenterAngle to 44, I got an incorrect point cloud: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1o9uESsuHYwdpvT50u7KkASC9WxZWRuQp/view?usp=sharing
Additionally, what about lidars with limited horizontal angle, like IBEO lidars?
