Converting from .bin to .pcd

Software
1

Hello Ouster! I’m currently working with the Nvidia Drive Orin AGX developer kits and recording lidar data (2x OS1-64 Gen1, 1x OS2-128 RevC) using them. The output of the recordings is saved as a .bin file type instead of .pcap for some reason. How would I go about converting my .bin recordings to the .pcd format? I know the sdk provides info on convering .pcap to .pcd, so if you could either help me convert to .pcap or directly to.pcd from .bin that would be greatly appreciated.

Other info:
OS1-64 settings: UDP profile = LEGACY, 1024x10
OS2-128 settings: UDP profile = RNG19_RFL8_SIG16_NIR16, 1024x10

Thank you!

Hi @Soundwave, if you are using Ouster’s NVIDIA Drive Driver to record it will save the output as .bin by default. The driver currently doesn’t have an option to save the stream as .pcap format directly. If you need the output in pcap format you could try using ouster-cli save capability as follows:

ouster-cli source <sensor-ip> save output.pcap

In the future, we may add support for parsing/saving the .bin format but I can’t provide you with a date yet.
