Hi,

When i see the 3D Point Cloud in the rviz and simultaneously when i print the number of detected objects using ROS_INFO in the DataHandlerClass.cpp file, it seems like that number of points i see on the rviz are more than the number of detected objects.

Is it so? There a very significant difference between these when there is a moving object in the FOV of Radar.

The one which came pre-flashed on the EVM. I haven't changed it.

I don't think ROS is supported as GUI for pre-flashed demo.

Did you develop the ROS interface?

There are probably some issues with ROS interface

Thank you

Hi,
I'm using the ROS driver provided by the TI's in Industrial Toolbox version 3.2
In the user guide of the ROS driver in the below link, it mentioned to use the Out-of-Box demo in the latest sdk. I'm using sdk 3.1

dev.ti.com/.../

Can you guide me, which binary to flash or what changes i can make to the binary and how do i get a more dense point cloud?

Thanks
Regards

Hi

As mentioned in the Setup Guide, this ROS visualizer does not support AWR1843 EVMs. Only AWR1443 and AWR1642.

Thank you
Cesar
