Lidar/BB check for CARLA
This script obtains the LiDAR's point cloud corresponding to all the vehicles
of the scene and make sure that they are inside the bounding box of the 
corresponding actor.
This is done in a predefined route in Town03 with a high speed and several agressive 
turns.

In a nutshell, the script have a queue that is filled in each frame with a lidar point 
cloud and an structure for storing the Bounding Boxes. This last one is emulated as a 
sensor filling the queue in the on_tick callback of the carla.world. In this way, we make
sure that we are correctly syncronizing the lidar point cloud and BB/actor transformations.
Then, we select the points corresponding to each actor (car) in the scene and check they
are inside the bounding boxes of that actor, all in each vehicle frame of reference.

Important Data structure description:
  + Lidar data structure: four element tuple with:
      - [0] Frame
      - [1] Sensor name: 'semlidar'
      - [2] Point cloud in the form of a numpy dictionary with all semantic lidar information
      - [3] Global transformation of the sensor
  + Bounding box data structure: four element tuple with:
      - [0] Frame
      - [1] Sensor name: 'bb'
      - [2] List of actor information: each a tuple with:
            - [0] Actor id
            - [1] Actor type (blueprint's name)
            - [0] Actor's global transformation
            - [0] Actor's bounding box
 + ActorTrace class: Takes the Lidar data structure and one actor information and
    check if all the data points related with this actor are inside its BB.
    This is done in the local coordinate frame of the actor and should be done like:
        trace = ActorTrace(actor_info, lidar_data)
        trace.process()
        trace.check_lidar_data()
