MATLAB supported LIDAR devices

Hello,

Are there any other Lidars supported by MATLAB other than Velodyne, perhaps something a little more affordable for a student.

Hi Mark,

As far as hardware is concerned MATLAB only support Velodyne lidar sensors and this link shows the supported sensor under velodyne. We might extend the support for other sensors in future but currently only velodyne is supported.

Do you know why this function is not working or available?

Hello Mark,

From R2022a, MATLAB supports "ouster os1-64" lidar sensor live streaming from Lidar Toolbox. In 22b, it will extend to 128 model. As Shashank mentioned, we will extend the hardware support to other sensors based on the market opportunities and customer requests.

Thanks & Regards,

Rajesh
