Applying restrictions on 360-degree LiDAR for slam and autonomous navigation
I am working with TurtleBot 3-Burger (Rasberry Pi 3) and ROS Kinetic.
On Turtlebot 3, we have a 360-degree Planner LiDAR for slam and autonomous navigation.
What I need/want to do is to make this scanner looking at certain angles for data collection.
For example, I want it to collect the data from those angles which are highlighted using Slashes (front and rear), and ignore the data from those angles which are highlighted using Brackets (left and right).

**Sorry for my figure, I can't upload the actual image as i am new in ROS community and I don't have enough points to upload an image.
Any help and hint needed and I will appreciate it.
