ouster lidar data reading in matlab

Hello Everyone,

I am new to matlab. How to read lidar data captured from ouster sensor in matlab. As I checked for velodyne, Lidar data visualization is straight forward, but I did not find any source for Ouster. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Currently we are not supporting the feature for reading LiDAR data from Ouster Sensor. This issue has been brought to the notice of the concerned people and it might be considered for a future release.

Hi,

MATLAB supports read pcap files generated using ouster sensor from R2022a. Refer below link:

Hi @Venkata Ram Prasad Vanguri,

In order to read Ouster PCAP file with Ouster Python SDK, there is no problem. But I am experiencing issues reading Ouster PCAP file with MATLAB R2022b, there is no output data. Any suggestions?

[Venkata Ram Prasad Vanguri]

Hi,

Till R2022b, we supported only Legacy data format, if data is collected using any other format, then the API won't be able to read it. In R2023a, we supported all Lidar data packet formats, hope it works for your data.

The function ousterFileReader not work correcty in 2023b with lidar's FW 2.4. As in json there is a negative shift, and intensivity value shift in row... Bug
