1 Introduction

ZVISION SDK developed based on c++ provide a convenient way to use the zvision production. You can communicate with the device and get the device's info, including but not limited to pointcloud and configuration.

Prerequisites

• Ubuntu 14.04/Ubuntu 16.04/Ubuntu 18.04/Ubuntu 20.04, both x86 and ARM (Nvidia TX2)
• Windows 7/10, Visual Studio 2015 Update3
• C++11 compiler

2 ZVISION SDK

ZVISION SDK implement the main function to configure device's function.

3 SAMPLE

For user's reference, SAMPLE tell you how to set device's parameter, how to get pointcloud data from the device.

4 INSTALL SDK

4.1 Installation

4.1.1 Ubuntu 20.04/18.04/16.04/14.04 LTS

Dependencies

CMake 3.0.0+ is required. You can install these packages using apt:

sudo apt install cmake pkg-config

Compile ZVISION SDK

In the ZVISION SDK directory, run the following commands to compile the project:

git clone https://github.com/zvision-lidar/zvision_sdk.git
cd zvision_sdk

mkdir build
cd build && cmake ..
make
sudo make install

4.1.2 Windows 7/10

Dependencies

ZVISION SDK supports Visual Studio 2015 and requires install CMake 3.0.0+ as dependencies.

In the ZVISION SDK directory, run the following commands to create the Visual Studio solution file. Generate the 64-bit project:

cd zvision_sdk
cd build && \
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"

Compile ZVISION SDK

You can now compile the SDK in Visual Studio.

4.2 Run Sample

Two samples are provided in sample/lidar_config and Sample/pointcloud

4.2.1 Ubuntu 20.04/18.04/16.04 /14.04 LTS

For Ubuntun 20.04/18.04/16.04/14.04 LTS, run the pointcloud_sample if connect with the LiDAR

cd sample/pointcloud && ./pointcloud_sample

or run the lidarconfig_sample if connect with the LiDAR:

cd sample/lidar_config && ./lidarconfig_sample

4.2.2 Windows 7/10

After compiling the ZVISION SDK, you can find pointcloud_sample.exe or lidarconfig_sample.exe in the {zvision_sdk}\build\sample\pointcloud\Debug or {zvision_sdk-SDK}\build\sample\lidar_config\Debug folder, respectively, which can be run directly.
