10 Calibrated Reflectivity
RS-LiDAR-32 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-32 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.
