If you’ve ever seen an autonomous vehicle, you may have noticed a rapidly-spinning tube mounted on its roof. This is a LiDAR system unit. Its role is to measure the distance of objects relative to the position of the car in 3-D. LiDAR system isn’t just used in self-driving cars.LiDAR System ComponentsThere are 4 main […]

LiDAR Introduction LiDAR is a remote sensing technology. LiDAR technology uses the pulse from a laser to collect measurements. These are used to create 3D models and maps of objects and environments. What Is LiDAR Technology? LiDAR technology is usually used to examine the surface of the earth, assess information about the ground surface, create a […]

This article is to conclude 10 important events about autonomous driving and LiDAR. Autonomous driving has explored different model prototypes on the path of commercialization in 2021.

The rapid development of low-speed unmanned driving is inseparable from the support of LiDAR technology. So, does solid-state LiDAR really have the ability to move towards mass application in the scenarios of low-speed unmanned driving?

LiDAR, typically used as an acronym for “light detection and ranging”, is essentially a sonar that uses pulsed laser waves to map the distance to surrounding objects. It is used by a large number of autonomous vehicles to navigate environments in real time. Its advantages include impressively accurate depth perception, which allows LiDAR to know […]

In the previous article, we have introduced the importance and advantages of LiDAR to us, so we won’t talk about it, and we will go directly to the topic. In addition to the above fields, there are actually many areas where LiDAR can be used, such as: VR/AR, Smart transportation, ocean exploration and fishery resource […]

Flash LiDAR is a laser-based 3D imaging system in which a large area is illuminated by each laser pulse and a focal plane array (FPA) is used to simultaneously detect light from thousands of adjacent directions. Mapping and 2-D/3-D imaging are examples of applications for such systems.

The use of LiDAR sensor systems is not limited to smart cars and mobile robots. There are more application scenarios to be explored. A large number of mature cases in many industrial and service scenarios are based on LiDAR sensor systems. Under the huge application demand and open market environment, the trend of intelligent development is becoming more and more obvious. Let’s have a look at a few actual use cases of LiDAR sensor systems.

Radar is no stranger to many people, but LiDAR may not be heard much. In recent years, with the exposure of unmanned driving technologies such as Google and Tesla, LiDAR has also received widespread attention. LiDAR, namely light detection and measurement, is a system that integrates three technologies: laser, global positioning system (GPS), and inertial navigation […]

Baidu Apollo Go robotaxi marks a further step in its accelerating progress towards large-scale commercial operation with the service’s first-ever commercial deployment on open roads.
