A point cloud is a data set of points in a coordinate system. Points contain a wealth of information, including three-dimensional coordinates X, Y, Z; color; classification value; intensity value; and time. Point clouds mostly come from lidars that are commonly used in various NVIDIA Jetson use cases, such as autonomous machines, perception modules, and 3D modeling. One of the key…
]]>Many Jetson users choose lidars as their major sensors for localization and perception in autonomous solutions. Lidars describe the spatial environment around the vehicle as a collection of three-dimensional points known as a point cloud. Point clouds sample the surface of the surrounding objects in long range and high precision, which are well-suited for use in higher-level obstacle perception…
