Orbbec Pulsar SL450

The Pulsar SL450 is a single-line LiDAR sensor. Single-line LiDAR devices measure depth across a single 2D plane, rather than a full 3D field. In exchange, they gain massive range compared to other depth sensors, making them suitable for installation in large spaces. The SL450 claims a depth range of up to 45 metres.

Device Properties

• Scan Rate: the number of scans captured per second, between 15 and 40 Hz.
• Maximum Distance: when enabled, points further than this distance from the sensor are discarded.
• Color Mapping: how the scan is colourised within Pointcaster. This does not affect the colour data of the point cloud itself, just its visualisation.
