Actually laser is providing x y data only. If i edit z axis data like z=1,2,3,...instead of z=0 in .pcd file then can it make 3d map.
Hi Archana,
Could you explain a bit more what you're trying to achieve. The Hokuyo LIDAR needs to move (or the subject needs to move) in order to create a 3D scan. I've recently built a system like this that has the Hokuyo unit mounted on a tilt platform.
What sort of setup do you have?
It is possible to set up two Hokuyo LIDARs, one mounted scanning in the horizontal plane and one mounted at a right-angle scanning in the vertical plane. Together, they produce 3D scans. I do not have any idea how this would be set up in terms of ROS software, but it should be possible to do it. Autonomous drone builders would have tried this 3D mapping in order to have a drone fly autonomously through a window in a wall as part of a robot challenge.
Actually, it IS possible to use ONE Hokuyo. There was a product our team was examining as a possible 3D-mapping solution here: http://www.3dlasermapping.com/zeb1-in...
They stick a Hokuyo UTM-30LX on a bobble stick and convert that into a 3D point cloud. Watch the video. Very expensive!
Here is another clever way they do a 3D scan with just one Hokuyo--rotate the Hokuyo! http://geoslam.com/products/zeb-revo/ We examined this too and found it to be far cheaper to just buy two Hokuyos mounted at right angles (we have not done so yet).
