Piezoelectric actuators drive optical fiber tips to scan environments, replacing complex mirror arrangements and reducing energy loss in LiDAR systems.
A lidar control system adjusts vertical swipe duration and dead time to maintain a constant scan rate.
Reference scan subtraction eliminates front glass window reflections, enabling zero-meter object detection.
Segmenting point cloud objects into distinct mesh resolutions suppresses data capacity growth while maintaining shape accuracy.
A solid state lidar circuit uses a liquid crystal layer to steer optical beams via phase modulation across waveguides.
Polygonal virtual-pixel units enable summed and cyclic readout modes, resolving range-measurement precision loss from reduced pixel sizes.
Coherent fiber optic image bundles transfer light reflections from multiple fields of view to a remote ranging subassembly.
A compressive sensing tomographic imaging camera uses non-sinusoidal waveforms to project optical signals onto an incoherent basis.
Merges lens barrel and bracket functions into one structure, reducing part count and production costs.
A dual transceiver optoelectronic sensor segments detection into specialized units for natural targets and artificial reflectors.
