The use of Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging) for automotive applications, especially autonomous vehicles, and aerial surveys is rather well known. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the technology has recently been applied to provide social distancing and help people transition to the new normal. For example, Quanergy has developed a Social Distancing Flow Management platform. It […]

What advanced sensing techniques are used to find lost treasures? Part 5: LiDAR
This series has previously addressed magnetometry, electromagnetic induction , ground penetrating radar and resistivity measurements. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is another sensing technique frequently used by archeologists and treasure hunters to find objects. While it can be used alone, it is often combined with electromagnetic induction, magnetometry and/or electrical resistivity measurements. LiDAR data analysis […]
An Integrated Solid-State LiDAR Sensor for Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous vehicles are the ultimate future for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). For widespread acceptance, the cost of “seeing the road” must be considerably cheaper than it is in today’s limited production, high-end vehicles. The right cost will make a technology acceptable for many applications and wide range of vehicles. Targeting a cost of $250 […]
