Abstract
A method and an apparatus for processing laser point cloud data includes obtaining laser point data to be used by a data receiver comprising an acquisition time; determining a timestamp for representing the acquisition time, and splitting the timestamp into a base timestamp and an offset timestamp; and storing the base timestamp and compressed laser point cloud data. Laser point cloud data output by a laser radar is compressed and comprises only offset timestamps corresponding to respective laser points. The base timestamp and the offset timestamp may be added to obtain the required synchronization precision timestamp, and the data is synchronized. The processing speed of a CPU or GPU for the laser point cloud data is improved while the timestamp precision reaches the precision required by synchronization of the laser point cloud data, and storage space is saved.
