| boost::optional< velodyne_pointcloud::Calibration > velodyne_rawdata::RawData::setup | ( | ros::NodeHandle | private_nh | ) |
Set up for data processing.
Perform initializations needed before data processing can begin:
| private_nh | private node handle for ROS parameters |
Set up for on-line operation.

| int velodyne_rawdata::RawData::setupOffline | ( | std::string | calibration_file, |
| double | max_range_, | ||
| double | min_range_ | ||
| ) |
Set up for data processing offline. Performs the same initialization as in setup, in the abscence of a ros::NodeHandle. this method is useful if unpacking data directly from bag files, without passing through a communication overhead.
| calibration_file | path to the calibration file |
| max_range_ | cutoff for maximum range |
| min_range_ | cutoff for minimum range |

convert raw packet to point cloud
| pkt | raw packet to unpack |
| pc | shared pointer to point cloud (points are appended) |
special parsing for the VLP16
Position Calculation
the new term of 'vert_offset * sin_vert_angle' was added to the expression due to the mathemathical model we used.
the new term of 'vert_offset * sin_vert_angle' was added to the expression due to the mathemathical model we used.
the expression wiht '-' is proved to be better than the one with '+'
the new term of 'vert_offset * sin_vert_angle' was added to the expression due to the mathemathical model we used.
the new term of 'vert_offset * cos_vert_angle' was added to the expression due to the mathemathical model we used.
Use standard ROS coordinate system (right-hand rule)
