Pathway to a compact, fast, and low-cost LiDAR

Powered by our home-made fast processing electronics, three generations of MCU/FPGA-controlled mirror-rotating LiDAR systems are presented here, demonstrating the pathway toward a LiDAR system with small form-factor, fast refreshing rate, and low cost. Experimental measurements demonstrate that the final LiDAR system is capable of scanning at fixed horizontal and vertical 40° FOV, 4.7 FPS and 41 by 41 resolution.
