Trying to Load LAS file in R

My apologies if this question is a little rudimentary - I'm intermediately experienced in troubleshooting with R, but this issue is persistent, possibly because I'm a little new to R's spatial packages. I'm trying to use R to process lidar data. I…

Is there an algorithm that finds the average OF the outliers? Converting Lidar Data to Touch Points

I'm relatively new to programming, though I understand how it works at an intermediate level. I have a LiDAR sensor (YDLiDAR-G4) that is set up on top of a wall, scanning everything across the wall. The goal is to have it so when someone touches the…

Are KITTI depth maps showing distance from camera point or camera plane?

I was always using KITTI raw LiDaR scans data set as a ground truth for my depth studies and thought that they are representing distance between some point and camera plane, i.e. z coordinate. For example, pixel depth of 364th row of the image…

Best approach to mapping interior point cloud with LIDAR

Recently started playing with and built a 3D LIDAR using an Arduino, 2 servos and a Garmin Lite 3 LIDAR. Stationary mapping works great, but now I would like to move into interior mapping with a handheld unit. With an exterior unit I would of course…
