LiDAR Scanning Apparatus Placement for Symmetrical Cross Sections

The patent applies asymmetry principle by intentionally designing the placement positions of the first and second scanning apparatuses to create symmetrical receiving cross sections. Specifically, the first scanning apparatus is placed at a first distance from the center line, and the second scanning apparatus is placed at a second distance from the center line, where these distances are calculated to ensure symmetry. This resolves the asymmetry problem in existing mainstream placements while maintaining the ability to detect distances and build three-dimensional space models.

The patent applies parameter changes by optimizing the placement parameters (distances from center line) of the scanning apparatuses. By calculating specific first and second distances based on optical path geometry, the system achieves consistent receiving cross section sizes across different azimuth angles. This ensures uniform ranging performance on both left and right sides while maintaining full scanning functionality across the field of view.

The patent applies equipotentiality by creating equal receiving cross section conditions across the field of view. The placement positions are calculated so that the second scanning surface receives reflected laser beams with consistent cross section sizes at different azimuth angles. This ensures that distance measurement accuracy is maintained uniformly across the entire field of view, not just at the center, by making all positions equivalent in terms of receiving performance.
