Lidar sensors (acronym for “light detection and ranging”) are range-measuring sensors like radar and sonar. The sensors emit laser pulses that reflect off objects, allowing them to perceive the structure of their surroundings. The sensors record the reflected light energy to determine the distances to objects to create a 2D or 3D representation of the surroundings. Lidars are becoming one of the primary sensors for developing perception systems across multiple industries. They enable 3D perception workflows such as object detection, semantic segmentation, and navigation workflows such as mapping, simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM), and path planning.
