Converting lvx to las #38

Open luc-girod opened 2 years ago

luc-girod commented 2 years ago

Hei,

So, I have had quite a few issues with my Horizon, trying to get it to acquire a point cloud from a static position every few minutes. The code always ends up hanging somewhere. It worked ok in the spring, but after spending the summer outside, it fails frequently. So I thought about getting back to basics and just using the C++ sdk to grab the data, then do the processing offline with the OpenPyLivox.

The problems started immediately when I realized that the SDK example extracted an lvx file, and that the OpenPyLivox library didn't have a lvx to las converter in the same way as it has a bin to las. I see that there's a lvx reader implemented, so I would guess that getting a converter in would be somehow possible? If so, I'm happy to work on it, given a few pointers ;)
