Cepton SDK

Overview

The Cepton SDK provides the following features

• Networking: Listen for sensor packets.
• Capture Replay: Read sensor packets from a PCAP file.
• Parsing: Parse sensor packets.
• Calibration: Apply sensor calibration.
• Frame Accumulation: Accumulate sensor points and detect frames.

Currently, the Cepton LiDAR packet formats are under active development, and are not publicly available. The SDK is required for Parsing and Calibration. All other SDK features are optional, and can be done manually by the user.
