You access the point cloud data using the velodynelidar
object. You can preview and read point clouds from the supported Velodyne
LiDAR sensors.

Requirements and getting started information
Create a velodynelidar Object and Use Object Properties
You access the point cloud data using the velodynelidar
object.
You can read all available point clouds or read a subset that you select. You can
specify number of point clouds to read and specify them as the latest or the oldest point
clouds in the buffer using arguments of the read
command.
Read and Compare Two Point Clouds from a LiDAR Sensor
This example shows how to acquire the oldest and newest point clouds from the buffer and display them to compare the images.
