LiDAR

A two-dimensional scanning optical distance sensor, which measures the distance to a object while scanning light.

In addition to the range finder, it is also called a laser scanner, LRF (Laser rangefinder), and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging).

Since the LiDAR outputs the data traced in a predetermined area, it is possible to determine the size, position, and moving direction of the detected object in the area.

We have a lineup of the serial type (data output type) that directly outputs detection data and the parallel output type (area setting type) that detects the presence or absence of detected objects in the setting area.

The position of the detected object can be accurately grasped, and the position information of the object can be placed on the map.

It is possible to accurately grasp the size of the detected object from the output distance data.

Since data is captured by continuous rotation with high-speed scanning, it is possible to check the moving direction of the detected object.

Since the LiDAR itself emits light and detects the reflected light, it is okay even if there is no light around.

Since the camera visually identifies the person, it may invade privacy and the installation location is restricted. Since the LiDAR detects only the shape, it does not invade privacy and there are no restrictions on the installation location.
