Application: kitti2mm
This CLI tool converts KITTI dataset LIDAR binary files (.bin) with (X,Y,Z, Intensity) data into mp2p_icp metric map files (.mm).
The KITTI dataset stores point cloud data in a binary format. This tool reads those files and converts them into the mp2p_icp metric map format, optionally setting the layer name, numeric ID, and label string for the resulting map.
USAGE:
kitti2mm [-l <raw>] [--label <label>] [--id <ID>] -o <out.mm> -i
<kitti-00.bin> [--] [--version] [-h]
Where:
-l <raw>, --layer <raw>
Target layer name (Default: "raw").
--label <label>
Metric map label string (Default: none).
--id <ID>
Metric map numeric ID (Default: none).
-o <out.mm>, --output <out.mm>
(required) Output file to write to.
-i <kitti-00.bin>, --input <kitti-00.bin>
(required) KITTI .bin pointcloud file.
--, --ignore_rest
Ignores the rest of the labeled arguments following this flag.
--version
Displays version information and exits.
-h, --help
Displays usage information and exits.
Example usage
Convert a KITTI binary point cloud file to a metric map:
kitti2mm -i /path/to/kitti/velodyne/000000.bin -o output.mm
Convert with a custom layer name and label:
kitti2mm -i scan.bin -o scan.mm -l lidar_points --label "KITTI Sequence 00 Frame 42" --id 42
