Projecting LiDAR pointcloud onto equirectangular images from RICOH THETA V

[Alex]

Hello
I am a student working on a project which consists, for now, of projecting a pointcloud from a LiDAR onto an equirectangular image. I am using an ouster LiDAR and a RICOH THETA V camera.
I have tried looking for libraries or scripts helping in my task but so far no luck. I also tried to code my own script to do so, but to no avail.
I am considering splitting the equirectangular image into dual fisheye images and then projecting the points onto them and converting them back to an equirectangular image, but I have no idea how to do that either.
Has somebody done anything similar or got any clue on what to do?
Any advice is welcome

Sensor Fusion (not necessarily in real time)- Sync 2 Ricoh Theta V with a LiDAR

Hello Everyone, I am working on a depth detection project involving a stereo 360 cameras (2 Theta V) and a LiDAR. As you may know one crutial step for sensor fusion is to make them time synchronized. I did everything possible using ROS. now the output is synchronized according to ROS but it is still not enough. Some researches lead me to think that synchronizing all the hardware using the same external clock would lead to a better result. what do you think ? Also and most importantly is it e…

You may want to reach out to people directly and ask what libraries they are using.

Live Streaming over USB on Ubuntu and Linux, NVIDIA Jetson

Update by moderator: July 29, 2020 Open source patch for libuvc now available to get streaming from THETA V/Z1 to Linux, including NVIDIA Jetson and x86 RICOH THETA360.guide Independent developer community original note by community member: I am trying to live stream from my Theta V in Ubuntu, over USB using OBS. OBS can stream the built-in camera just fine, but it doesn’t see the Theta. lusb sees the Ricoh Theta. ptpcam -c is able to initiate a capture. ptpcam -g is able to download the…
