ibeoLidarReader

Read point cloud data from Ibeo data container (IDC) file

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.

Properties

FileName — Name of IDC file

Read-only: character vector | string scalar

This property is read-only.

Name of the IDC file, stored as a character vector or string scalar.

MessageTypes — List of supported message types

Read-only: string scalar | vector of strings

This property is read-only.

List of supported message types available in the IDC file, stored as a string scalar or as a vector of strings. The possible values of this property are "Scan", "PointCloudPlane", or a vector containing both.

NumMessages — Total number of supported messages

Read-only: positive integer

This property is read-only.

Total number of supported messages available in the IDC file, stored as a positive integer.

FileInfo — Information on supported messages

Read-only: table object

This property is read-only.

Information on supported messages, stored as a table object.
