Aperture angle, vertical/horizontal

The aperture angle refers to the angle range that a sensor is capable of detecting. On 2D LiDAR sensors, the aperture angle is also called the scanning range and expressed as a horizontal angle. In the case of 3D LiDAR sensors, a vertical aperture angle is also specified.
