AWR1843BOOST: Is it possible to get a dense cloud point by using AWR1843BOOST

Hi, all:

Here is our environment:

*device : AWR1843BOOST

*SDK: 3.0.4.3

*binary: xwr18xx_mmw_demo.bin

*host: ubuntu 16.04

We are trying to reproduce the point cloud on this video :
www.youtube.com/watch

And we follow the instruction here to install the ROS and ti_mmwave_rospkg ROS driver:
dev.ti.com/.../node

ROS environment:

*launch file: 1843_multi_3d_0.lanuch

*config: 1843_3d.cfg

But we can't get the similar cloud points in that video, is there any thing we missing ? Or only thing we can do is to buy IWR1443 or IWR6843 ?

Thanks in advance

Hello Leo,

Density of the object cloud depends on the application you use with the mmwave sensor device.

I would suggest you first decide which particular device you need to use for your usecase, 60GHz or 77GHz mmwave sensor variant?

Hi, Jitendra:

Thanks for your reply.

Ok, maybe I ask the question in a wrong way.

I got a 77GHz AWR1843 BOOST right now.

And this is my result:

but according the Youtube video I mentioned above, they looks like this:

The video use ROS too but they seems having dense point cloud and less noise. Was clustering or tracking in use?

Can I know how they did it? Thanks

Hi, all:

There are detail descriptions about how to get dense points

Thanks
