The world of LiDAR technology

LiDAR technology has acted as a building block for many technologies and applications but has also been mired with several myths and false presumptions. As the second part of this blog series, we have rounded up more common myths about LiDAR and have debunked them.

LiDAR technology has been a revelation for many sensor-based applications but has also been the focus of many myths and false presumptions. We have rounded up the most common myths and debunked them in this two-part blog series.

FMCW is considered a game-changer for LiDAR - but does the technology really have the potential to transform the industry? Is FMCW even ready for use in sensor technology? And why do most LiDAR manufacturers prefer to continue to rely on time-of-flight?

LiDAR is the latest cutting-edge technology leveraging 3D point cloud images to enable many applications. But how can one assess the performance metrics and decide which LiDAR is a good fit for their application?

Why is the Blickfeld point cloud eye-shaped? How can it be configured? And what are the advantages of these setting options for different applications?

LiDAR is the latest buzzword in the world of autonomous vehicles, but how exactly does the technology work? How many types are there? Why use LiDAR sensor instead of any other tech?

Lidar technology emerged already in the 60s and has evolved from application in aeronautics and aerospace to areas of environment detection such as autonomous driving today.

Through innovation and meticulous design, MEMS mirrors have proven to be a key enabler of advanced MEMS LiDAR technology. MEMS-based LiDAR sensors offer both scalability and high performance. A critical factor in their design is the size of the MEMS mirrors. How is this optimal size determined?

LiDARs have struggled with problems such as performance, robustness and scalability. Blickfeld’s technology ensures mass market readiness for LiDARs.
