Simulate a 1D-Lidar (laser scan)

[JiayunjieJYJ]

Can I simulate a 1D-Lidar (laser scan) by using the output of depth data of getCameraImage()? In other words, I want to get a horizonal distance(depth) data like a 1D-Lidar.

Is it possible? Or is there any demo about it ??

Thank alot!!!

This is for a 3D point cloud... pointCloudFromCameraImage.py. You can put this in 2D as well. All you need to do is put it in the while loop for making the scan.

Idk why the video is so choppy

Point.Cloud.mp4

Thanks! I will try it! Hope this method is accuracy enough.

No problem! You could experiment with the resolution.

Hi, I find that if I run pybullet in DIRECT mode rather than GUI mode, the depth image can not detect the objects, do you know how to solve it?

No, I have not faced this. Can you link the code here?
