Hi Sylvain, I thought about naming them horizontal_entries or horizontal_size too. But an horizontal entry would of course be a vertical vector and I recall that this terminology led to confusion in the old type. Thats why I decided to use the matrix terminology. I'll think about renaming it or improving the documentation.
In the opendfki wiki I already collected some naming proposals: - SweepedLaserScan - MultiLaserScan - LaserScanArray - MultiLevelLaserScan - LaserScan2 - LaserScans - Scan3D Currently I prefer Scan3D. Feel free to vote or contribute.
