ibeoLidarReader

Ibeo data container (IDC) file reader

Description

An ibeoLidarReader object stores lidar data present in an Ibeo data container (IDC) file. The IDC file is captured by Ibeo lidar sensors. The object function, readMessages, uses the object properties to read Ibeo FUSION SYSTEM or ECU scan data and Ibeo point cloud plane data from IDC files. Ibeo Automotive Systems is a manufacturer of lidar sensor-based devices. The data captured by these devices is stored in IDC files.

The reader currently supports message data types 0x2205 and 0x7510 in IDC files. These data types represent the Ibeo FUSION SYSTEM or ECU scan data and Ibeo point cloud plane data, respectively.

Creation

Syntax

ibeoReader = ibeoLidarReader(fileName)

Description

ibeoReader = ibeoLidarReader(fileName) creates an ibeoLidarReader object that reads metadata from an IDC file. The fileName input sets the FileName property.
