Properties

Name Type Description
timestamp object Timestamp of scan
frame_id string Frame of reference
pose object Origin of scan relative to frame of reference; points are positioned in the x-y plane relative to this origin; angles are interpreted as counterclockwise rotations around the z axis with 0 rad being i
start_angle number Bearing of first point, in radians
end_angle number Bearing of last point, in radians
ranges array Distance of detections from origin; assumed to be at equally-spaced angles between `start_angle` and `end_angle`
intensities array Intensity of detections
