How does one use this without ROS? about sick_scan_xd

[michael1309]

Since there is no well-defined interface for a subscription in the IT world, we decided at this point to show as an example how the data can be prepared without ROS by exporting the data as a Birds Eye view as a jpg at intervals of a few seconds. You can find an example here in the code section

sick_scan_xd/driver/src/sick_scan_common.cpp

Line 4215 in 0c35a36

plotPointCloud(cloud_);

In the current implementation, this data is updated in the directory sick_scan_xd\demo directory. You can open the HTML file there in your default browser and inspect the lidar data and adjust the code section that exports the image data and CSV data to your needs. In principle it would also be possible to create a library with callback. But up to now, according to ours, it was easy for the users to branch the code and directly use the evaluation for performance reasons instead of the CSV export and the JPEG export.
