Real-Time 3D LiDAR Point Cloud Data Acquisition & Generation on Jetson

This paper presents a novel algorithm for real-time data acquisition, processing, and visualization of 3D point cloud data generated by the VLP-32C LiDAR sensor. The proposed method efficiently captures raw UDP packets transmitted by the LiDAR, decodes the data to generate a comprehensive 360degree point cloud representation, and visualizes it in real-time on NVIDIA Jetson boards. Leveraging the computational capabilities of the Jetson platform, the algorithm ensures low-latency performance, making it suitable for applications in autonomous systems, robotics, and real-time mapping.
