How-To

Start from a working Lidar generic core model sensor (Your First Lidar Sensor). Choose a task below:

• Configure a Firing Pattern — schedule emitters and aim their rays.

• Constrain the Field of View — limit return range and the accepted rotary scan sector.

• Configure Lidar Output — choose coordinates, reference frame and delivery cadence.

• Motion Artifacts — simulate motion during a scan and choose compensation.

• Tune Intensity and Point Drops — tune signal strength and dropped returns.

• Build a Profile from a Spec Sheet — distinguish measured specifications from estimates.

The Tutorials apply profiling to rotary and solid-state devices. See USD Attributes for controls and Outputs for the point-cloud layout.
