How can I visualize data from the telemetry port of the VLP16 LiDAR?
Hello,
I am comparatively new to handling LiDAR data, so I apologize in advance if the questions seem vague or misled. I am currently working on capturing and visualizing point clouds using the (VLP16) ROS drivers. I was wondering if there is a way to visualize the GPS data (Garmin 18X LVC) from the telemetry port? Is this information written to the velodyne_points during a bag file recording for extraction? I tried using the navsat_driver and obtained a checksum error at port 8308 while the GPS was connected (signal was present on the velodyne web UI). I would like to convert this data into UTM and use it to position the point clouds in space. I guess I would like to understand this - how can I synchronize the two ports' data, is the point cloud already time stamped with the GPS information? Any help/guidance in this regard is appreciated, thank you very much!
Best, Sneha
