Companies requiring a solution to manage real-time visualization and analysis of their 3D point cloud data
About VeloView
VeloView is an open-source application designed for real-time visualization and processing of 3D LiDAR data captured from Velodyne's HDL sensors, including models such as HDL-64E, HDL-32E, VLP-32, VLP-16, Puck, Puck LITE, Puck Hi-Res, Ultra Alpha, Alpha Prime, Velarray, Velabit, and Veladome. It enables users to visualize live data streams or playback pre-recorded data stored in .pcap files, with the capability to record live streams for subsequent analysis. The software provides tools to display, select, and measure information from captured points, supporting custom color maps based on variables like intensity-of-return, time, distance, azimuth, dual return type, and laser ID. Users can export data as XYZ in CSV format or capture screenshots of the point cloud display. Recent updates have introduced features such as support for Velarray sensors, simultaneous operation of multiple sensors, independent live data transformation for each sensor.

LidarView
LidarView is an open source platform developed by Kitware for real-time visualization, recording, and processing of 3D LiDAR data. Built atop ParaView, it efficiently renders large point clouds and offers features such as 3D visualization of time-stamped LiDAR returns, a spreadsheet inspector for attributes like timestamp and azimuth, and the ability to display multiple data frames simultaneously. Users can input data from live sensor streams or recorded .pcap files, apply 3D transformations to point clouds and manage subsets of laser data. LidarView supports various sensors, including models from Velodyne, Hesai, Robosense, Livox, and Leishen, enabling visualization of live streams and replaying of recorded data. The platform integrates advanced algorithms for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), facilitating accurate environmental reconstruction and sensor localization. It also incorporates AI and machine learning capabilities for scene classification.
