Potential Depth-image creation #26

Closed Gariben closed 10 years ago

Gariben commented 10 years ago

I would like to see if I could create add the ability to create a depth image to the velodyne stack. I have a theoretical approach lined out:

(from my ros answers post)

I think if I can get the 'rotation' value from the 'row_block_t' (from rawdata.h) and then the 'laser_number' values (from rawdata.cc), I can make a matrix of size ROTATION_MAX_UNITS by SCANS_PER_BLOCK and then store the depth to each pixel (raw->blocks[i].rotation, j). However, I'm kind of unsure on how to access the values I need. I have the velodyne package in my workspace and the rawdata.cc, but I don't know how to use that information.

Closing. This project was done externally, and there is no plan to merge it into the main driver repository.

Is the external Project public? I would like to test this approach.

I doubt it, but you'd need to contact @Gariben to find out.

@Gariben i would be interested into your approach. Could you pm me?
