Problem with Riverside datasets

[antun008]

I'm having this problem when runing one of the riverside datasets:

I looked into #10, but this doesn't help me, because when I go in RVIZ, there is nothing happening, it dosent want to visualize any pointcloud2 topic

RVIZ doesn't work because it tries to read Ambient ring etc and the riverside data has XYZI data.

You are saying that although the rviz shows nothing, the algorithm still runs in the background?
And thanks for answer, can you maybe explain how can I change this to work and to see what happens in rviz?
Beacuse, on videos by authors, it can see in rviz pointcloud registered by ouster64.

Every lidar has its own output format!! For example RS lidars have XYZ or XYZI format, velodyne lidars have XYZIR or XYZIRT. So running this project the package trying to read ambient ring etc, while oyster LiDAR has XYZIR data. So you are trying to insert XYZIR data to a package which trying to find ambient ring etc data. That's why even if the package is running properly you can't visualize the data.
