Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) are the ideal optical sources for data
communication and sensing. In data communication, large data rates combined with …

We review some usual laser range finding techniques for industrial applications. After
outlining the basic principles of triangulation and time of flight [pulsed, phase-shift and …

This paper focuses on data fusion, which is fundamental to one of the most important
modules in any autonomous system: perception. Over the past decade, there has been a …

Laser velocimetry, often referred to as laser anemometry and laser flowmetry and also
known by some other names which will be used below, is a set of laser techniques designed …

Aiming at the problems of long-distance night dynamic object detection in military
operations, such as difficult imaging of traditional equipment, a small number of object …

The state-of-the-art long-distance near-infrared optical radars use laser-diode-based
miniature pulsed transmitters producing optical pulses of 3-10 ns in duration and peak …

Lidar (light detection and ranging) technology has the potential to revolutionize the way
automated systems interact with their environments and their users. Most lidar systems in the …

The application of imaging techniques in plant and agricultural sciences had previously
been confined to images obtained through remote sensing techniques. Technological …

LIDAR data has proved useful in recent years since it gives information such as item height
and attributes, statistics over large regions, and it all becomes available by capturing the …

We propose and develop a new type of non-mechanical three-dimensional (3D) light
detection and ranging (LiDAR) system, which integrates a beam-scanning-type laser source …
