What's keeping me so busy right now?
Lately I haven't had much time updating all my blogs because I'm currently dealing with some LIDAR data for my graduate thesis. I am quite bittered of the fact that really, this is more of a programming than analysis thing. I am more burdened of learning a new programming language or more so 'languages' just to be able to get meaningful results out of my raw data. I have been inspired by another blog to just chronicle all my findings and queries so I can help others and so others may be able to help me too. Also I guess this would be a good documentation for my future write ups for my methodologies. So to start with. I am using a HDL-32E Velodyne LIDAR. It's a laser rangefinder that uses 32 lasers cupped inside a TIN-CAN-SIZED enclosure that's set to generate approximately 700,000 points per second. I have actually found quite a number of resources even codes about Velodyne LIDAR but it's on the HDL-64E and so porting the codes to the 32E is quite dang...
