Grid scan

The main purpose of this prefab is to let the user define their own specifications for a uniform rectangular grid of laser range finder lidar. Each range finder fires a single laser beam, so the grid scan sensor generates a rectangular grid of points.

Implementation details

Warning

This sensor has a node that uses DXR and will not function without a compatible graphics card. See requirements for more details.

This grid scan samples the scene using path tracing and fires its laser beams along the positive Z axis.

Inputs

Input	Description
FrameRate	The number of output frames per second.
MinRange	Sets the minimum range registered by the device.
MaxRange	Sets the maximum range registered by the device. Every sample outside the max range will have a distance of 0 meters.

Outputs

Output	Description
PointCloud	A render texture with the (x, y, z) position for each pixel.
OutTranscode	Provides a context for executing sampling custom passes, which then passes through the GPU processing pipeline.
