The second-generation LiDAR units using flash, galvanometer, MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) or other scanning technologies to replace bulky mechanical systems have been too expensive and/or ...

Self-driving cars often use LiDAR — think of it as radar using light beams. One limitation of existing systems is they need some method of scanning the light source around, and that means moving ...

Above: A platform designed to stabilize a large Doppler lidar as it operates inside an airplane flying through a hurricane. You wouldn’t dream of flying through a hurricane, would you? Yet NOAA has ...

Reyes Ricardez, Derek Twarowski, Colin Baxter. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration tasked us with creating an aircraft-mounted, two-axis scanner for a Doppler lidar to study complex ...

and limited space to install mechanical contraptions, he decided to use a LIDAR sensor instead. Probably best-known for their emerging application in self-driving cars, LIDAR systems send out a ...

Valeo's solutions in autonomy, software and AI are disrupting the automotive market and addressing consumer expectations for ...

The prototype hyperspectral Raman imaging lidar system included a pulsed 532- nm green laser and a 2D imaging spectrometer with a gated ICCD. WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a new ...

Quantum erasure is a quantum mechanical process that can eliminate ... the team developed a two-photon interference atmospheric lidar system using an up-conversion detector. This system features ...

which form the core of a LiDAR system. "While mechanical LiDAR has been the standard, the latest trend is to replace it with semiconductor chips," said co-CEO, Jung-Hoon Chun. SOLiDVUE is the only ...

That system provides a significant advantage over even the most expensive lidar sensors, which only return less than a tenth as many points in a frame. There's a computational overhead required to ...
