The mechanism of LiDAR

Applications in position, distance, and shape measurement are expected in various scenarios.

In recent years, technologies such as autonomous driving in automobiles and autonomous navigation in robots have been gaining attention. Traditionally, object recognition using cameras and radar has been mainstream, but the technology that is being anticipated as the "third eye" is LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), which we will introduce here. LiDAR is a sensing technology that calculates distance by emitting laser light onto an object and measuring the time it takes for the light to travel back and forth. In addition to its simple measurement method, its high resolution makes it expected to be applied in various scenarios for measuring position, distance, and shape, not only in automobiles but also in small distance measuring devices for golf, among others.
