IWR6843ISK-ODS: Using IWR6843ISK-ODS to Construct a Scene

Hi,

Could you please provide more details. Are you planning to create 3D mapping using SLAM?

Thanks

Yogesh

I want to use the point cloud formed by the radar (IWR6843ISK-ODS) to try whether it can be accumulated to build a 3D map. The realization method may use fixed-point radar or mobile radar (SLAM principle) to collect point clouds. But I only have a half-baked idea,so I want to ask the experts first if it is possible to achieve.

Hi,

You can refer to autonomous lab that uses SLAM using ROS visualizer to collect point cloud data:

Are you planning to mount senor in over-head position?

Thanks

Thank you for your help.

This lab does not seem to support IWR6843ISK-ODS, is it not used because of its poor angle resolution?

Yes. I'm planning to mount the sensor on the ceiling.

You can run the autonomous lab with IWR6843ISK-ODS in wall mount position. We have not tested with ceiling mount. 

Quick questions:

1) Is you sensor stationary?

2) What's the angular resolution required. 

Thanks

Yogesh
