3D LiDAR

3D LiDAR technology uses laser-based rangefinding to create detailed three-dimensional maps of the environment, primarily for applications in robotics and autonomous systems. Current research emphasizes improving accuracy and robustness in challenging conditions (e.g., low light, adverse weather) through sensor fusion (combining LiDAR with cameras or radar), advanced algorithms like deep learning for calibration and object detection, and novel SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) techniques incorporating reference maps or other sensor data. These advancements are crucial for enhancing the reliability and safety of autonomous vehicles, robots operating in unstructured environments, and applications such as 3D modeling and mapping for various industries.
