Sweep’s lower update rate makes it most suitable for obstacle detection rather than environment scanning, if used on moving vehicles. A typical mobile robot use case will set Sweep to scan at around 3 Hz, giving about 2 degree angular resolution. Static scanning use cases don’t care as much about scan speed. An example would be a surveyor looking to make 3D scans of environments. Paired with a second rotation stage, Sweep can provide a full sphere of data points with 0.75 degree angular resolution in about 3 minutes.
