3.1.3

 

Point Cloud Data Analysis

 

Take Channel 5 in Block 2 as an example:

 

 

■    Analyze the vertical angle of a data point

 

The designed vertical angle of Channel 5 is 11°, according to Appendix I (Channel Distribution)

 

 

    Notes

 

·

 

The accurate vertical angle is recorded in this LiDAR's unit's angle correction file, see Section 1.3 (Channel Distribution).

 

·

 

0°  is the horizontal direction; define upward as positive (see Figure 1.5).

 

·

 

Channel # counts from 1, top to bottom.

 

 

■    Analyze the horizontal angle of a data point

 

    Y-axis is the 0°  position; define clockwise in the top view as positive (see Figure 1.4).

 

 

Horizontal angle =  ①

  + 

  + 

 

 

①    Rotor reference angle during the current round of firing

 

In the Azimuth field of Block 2.

 

 

②    Horizontal angle offset of the channel

 

The designed offset for Channel 5 is 0°, according to Appendix I (Channel Distribution Table).

 

    The accurate horizontal angle offset is recorded in this LiDAR's unit's angle correction file, see Section 1.3 (Channel Distribution).

 

 

③    Firing time angular offset of the channel =  ④  *  ⑤
