~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Reliability is our Motto ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LiDAR, short for Light Detection and Ranging, is a cutting-edge remote sensing technology that has transformed our ability to understand and interact with the world around us. By emitting laser pulses and measuring the time it takes for them to bounce back after hitting objects, LiDAR creates highly detailed 3D maps of landscapes, structures, and environments. This technology has found applications in a wide range of fields, from autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to archaeology, forestry, and urban planning. Its exceptional precision and accuracy make LiDAR an indispensable tool for industries and research endeavors seeking to gain deeper insights into their surroundings and make informed decisions based on rich spatial data.
In the realm of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) applications, the trio of LiDAR, Radar, and Cameras each brings its unique strengths and capabilities to the table. LiDAR excels in providing precise 3D mapping and object detection, especially in adverse weather conditions, making it essential for autonomous vehicles. Radars, on the other hand, are adept at detecting speed and motion, crucial for tracking fast-moving objects and assisting with adaptive cruise control. Cameras offer high-resolution visual information, essential for recognizing road signs, traffic lights, and human facial expressions.However, none of these sensors is perfect on its own. LiDAR can struggle with detecting certain materials, such as glass, and cameras may struggle in low-light conditions. Radar might provide less detailed data compared to LiDAR and cameras. Therefore, sensor fusion, which combines data from multiple sensors, is increasingly seen as the way forward in ADAS applications.
Among various types of LiDAR, MEMS LiDAR technology offers significant advantages in terms of size, cost, reliability, and suitability for modern applications, particularly in the fields of autonomous transportation and robotics. Compertum Microsystems Inc envisioned that MEMS-based micro-mirror LiDAR could become a breakthrough technology that can produce low-cost, high performance yet still meet harsh automotive requirement such as wide temperature range (-40 to 850C), high vibration and shock specification.
