LiDAR sensors also often have very wide horizontal fields of view, and in the case of scanning LiDAR units (more on that below), they provide a 360° horizontal field of view. For fast-moving autonomous vehicles that require obstacle awareness at long distances, it's a clear choice. To start with, many LiDAR sensors have exceptional ranges extending into the hundreds of meters. LiDAR has a few inherent advantages that make it a great choice for robot, autonomous vehicle (AV), and drone sensor arrays. The LiDAR industry is nothing if not ever-changing!
#Velodyne vs luminar update#
January 2023 update - We have updated this summary to add new vendors, as well as note which vendors have been acquired, merged, shut down, etc. Those are also cool, but irrelevant if you're a roboticist or perception engineer trying to determine what LiDAR sensors to test for your device. We won't cover the miniaturized LiDAR sensors used in Apple's latest iOS devices and a number of Android devices to enable features like augmented reality and FaceID. We'll be focusing on the longer-range LiDAR systems that are often specified as part of the sensing package for robots, drones and autonomous vehicles. Why is LiDAR cool? Well, LiDAR takes pictures of time! In this week's installment, we'll be exploring Light Detection and Ranging.aka LiDAR. Welcome back to our series on different sensing modalities! In our first installment, we looked at 3D sensors.
