Research Project Seeks to Standardize Lidar Tests

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
DAYTON, Ohio, Jan. 20, 2023 — A national group formed by Paul McManamon of Exciting Technology, in conjunction with SPIE, is working to develop standardized tests to evaluate lidar technologies. Despite their crucial role in both autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), lidars currently lack a standardized measure to describe their performance. The group has sought to address the issue with a three-year effort to develop tests and performance standards. In a recent paper in the journal Optical Engineering, the team reported the findings of the first-year tests and a briefing outline of the...Read full article

    lidar
    Lidar, short for light detection and ranging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and generate precise, three-dimensional information about the shape and characteristics of objects and surfaces. Lidar systems typically consist of a laser scanner, a GPS receiver, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU), all integrated into a single system. Here is how lidar works: Laser emission: A laser emits laser pulses, often in the form of rapid and repetitive laser...
