Detailed Description
Single-origin scanning range and intensity sensor.The laser interface provides access to a single-origin scanning range and intensity sensor, such as a SICK laser range-finder. In terms of interface definition, Laser extends RangeScanner by extending the data structure with return-intensity information.
Devices supporting the laser interface can be configured to scan at different angles and resolutions. As such, the data returned by the laser interface can take different forms. To make interpretation of the data simple, the laser data packet contains some extra fields before the actual range data. These fields tell the client the starting and ending angles of the scan, the angular resolution of the scan, and the number of range readings included. Scans proceed counterclockwise about the laser (0 degrees is forward).
