LIDAR SCANNER

摘要

A LiDAR sensor can include a laser, a directional sensor, a window, an electromagnetic pulse receiving sensor, and a processor. The laser can be configured to emit a narrow electromagnetic pulse. Further, the directional sensor can be configured to measure the direction of the narrow electromagnetic pulse emitted by the laser. The narrow emitted electromagnetic pulse can pass through the window. The pulse can then be reflected by at least the window and an object external from the LiDAR sensor, creating at least two reflected pulses. The electromagnetic pulse receiving sensor can be configured to measure the two reflected pulses resulting from the narrow pulse emitted by the laser. The processor can be configured to receive information from the sensors, indicating a position of the object relative to the LiDAR sensor. Further, the processor can be configured to measure the intensity of the pulse being reflected by the window.

1. A LiDAR sensor comprising:
a laser configured to emit a narrow electromagnetic pulse; a directional sensor configured to measure the direction of the narrow electromagnetic pulse emitted by the laser; a window through which the narrow electromagnetic pulse emitted by the laser passes; an electromagnetic pulse receiving sensor configured to measure at least two reflected pulses resulting from the narrow pulse emitted by the laser, at least one reflected pulse being reflected by the window and at least one reflected pulse being reflected by an object external from the LiDAR sensor; and a processor configured to receive information from the sensors indicating a position of the object relative to the LiDAR sensor, the processor further configured to measure the intensity of the pulse being reflected by the window.
