Velodyne LIDAR method for sensor data decoding

[摘要] This article discusses the main technical features of the LIDAR technology and work with the output data of the LIDAR sensor. We considered the main technical characteristics of the sensor company Velodyne. The main area of consideration was the output data packet of the VLP-16 sensor. Such a data packet contains a cloud of points, their coordinates and characteristics and is transmitted via the UDP protocol. The main goal of the work was to develop a decoding algorithm for raw data for use in other software.
