point-out mode on LiDARs

[funkywok]

Hi, authors and the LiDAR community,

First, congrats to the authors on this inspiring work!

I find the concept of direct point-out streaming very interesting, and I have some questions regarding the "point-out mode" described in the paper.

As I understand it, the datasets used are all frame-based, with the points serialized into streams to simulate the "point-out mode." In this case, even though the (processing) latency for event detection is at the microsecond level for individual points, the M-detector still needs to wait for the next frame's aggregation (e.g., 100ms frame time) to detect the eventness of a point. Could you please clarify if this understanding is correct?

Also, are there any commercial off-the-shelf LiDAR products that support this direct point-out mode? It would be exciting to get such LiDAR to do some cool stuff.

Thanks:)
