@Heavy02011 thanks for those links. I see in the gist that you are using the trapezoidal method for warping the image perspective; I think we should allow for that method...

In terms of the data format that is generated by the 2D Lidar part, I think it makes sense to save the all the data on each frame, even though...

Here are a couple of libaries that can manipulate point clouds and do a few other things (like scene segmentation) - https://pointclouds.org/ - http://www.open3d.org/
