3D LIDAR Sensor

3D LiDAR sensors are crucial for autonomous systems, providing sparse point cloud data of the environment. Current research focuses on improving the quality and completeness of these point clouds, addressing limitations like sparsity and occlusion through techniques such as diffusion models for scene completion and integration with Building Information Models (BIMs) for robust mapping in indoor environments. These advancements are driving progress in applications like autonomous driving, mobile robotics, and aerial navigation, enhancing perception capabilities and enabling more reliable and efficient operation in diverse settings.
