Introduction

VeloView performs real-time visualization of live captured lidar data from the HDL sensor, and it can playback pre-recorded data stored in files. The HDL sensor sweeps an array of lasers 360 degrees at 10 hz and captures more than 1 million points per second. VeloView displays the laser measurements as point cloud data and supports custom color maps of multiple variables such as intensity-of-return, time, distance, azimuth, and laser id.
