That's very cool! Could you explain a bit about what the colors mean? I'm especially intrigued by the painted road markings, which are clearly visible.


The colours are based on lidar intensity, i.e. how much light is bounced back from a surface. This depends on the reflectivity. That's why it can see lane markings and even murals on the wall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0-JaMGivX4


Ah, thanks. So the colors are an aesthetic choice? There's no more information than one might get from greyscale? (Which is a fine thing; I love the colors.)
