Simulate lower beam on Ouster OS2-128 #435

Closed vebjornjr closed 2 years ago

vebjornjr commented 2 years ago

Hello.

I have a Ouster OS2-128 sensor and I want to see how my processing performs on a sensor with lower number of beams.

What is the easiest way to get my sensor to behave as a 64 or 32 beam?

Thank you!

I'd try talking to our customer support about this.

You can also try running your system on sample data that has the desired number of beams / lidar_mode / lidar profile. I recall you're using the C++ SDK directly (with no ROS)? You can use ouster_pcap to replay packets as needed (though you'll have to write a bit of code to make it work, mostly around handling the timing).

C++ SDK right. The sample data is not relevant for our case, so I would really like to be able to emulate lower beam with your SDK. Is there not any way possible to hack with the metadata/sensor info to achieve it? I don't need any automatic way, if I can achieve it by manually editing some jsons/pcap then it works.
