10 Calibrated Reflectivity
RS-LiDAR-16 produces calibrated reflectivity data of objects. Reflectivity of object is largely determined
by the property of objects. Reflectivity therefore is an important information for LiDAR to distinguish
objects.
RS-LiDAR-16 reports reflectivity values from 0 to 255 with 255 being the reported reflectivity for an ideal
reflector. Diffuse reflection reports values from 0 to 100, with the weakest reflectivity reported from black
objects and strongest reflectivity reported from white object. Retro- reflector reports values from 101 to
255.

To calculate each point intensity, we need use the intensity value from MSOP packet and the values
from the calibrated reflectivity file. The calibrated reflectivity file can be found from the U disk (path:
