Processing raw data

The raw data is processed in four stages during object tracking:

Raw data

Object contour

Bounding box

Object box

First, the LD-MRS analyzes the scan data. This analysis is referred to as preprocessing.
During this process, the LD-MRS classifies every measured point and divides them up into 
values based on contamination,
atmospheric disturbances (e.g. rain), and impact on the object.
The LD-MRS only outputs scan data as data types via the Ethernet interface.
It is important to note the following differences here:
Scan data from the LD-MRS is output within the sensor coordinates system in a diametrical-
ly opposed manner.

Important

Scan data is transmitted from the LD-MRS within the sensor coordinates system.
