Light detection and ranging, known as lidar, or laser imaging, is a remote sensing technology that uses laser beams to measure distances to objects and creates detailed 3D maps of an environment. The lidar system consists of a laser, a scanner, and a detector. Lidar is a very crucial component in a wide variety of applications, including autonomous vehicles, mapping, and surveying, construction, etc. And as with any other important technology, the pace of development in lidar technology is just mindboggling.
A lot of new lidar modules, sensors, and platforms have been released in the past year, which offer improvements and new features. So, let us look at the technological trends in lidars and what the future holds for this amazing technology. The latest tech trends in lidar technology include:
- Real-time adaptive perception
- Longer range
- More lidar sensors in a lidar module
- Wider field of view
- Faster object detection
- Solid-state lidars
- Improvement in accuracy Improvement in dark object detection
- DSP based lidar Digital beam steering
- Software definable lidar
Real-time adaptive perception
The latest lidar modules now feature an adaptive perception, which is the ability of lidar systems to adjust their perception parameters based on changing environmental conditions in real-time. The performance of lidar systems can be affected by factors such as weather conditions, lighting, and the reflectivity of the surrounding objects.
