Robert Laganière, Professor at the University of Ottawa and CEO of Sensor Cortek, presents the “Introduction to Modern LiDAR for Machine Perception” tutorial at the May 2023 Embedded Vision Summit.
In this presentation, Laganière provides an introduction to light detection and ranging (LiDAR) technology. He explains how LiDAR sensors work and their main advantages and disadvantages. He also introduces different approaches to LiDAR, including scanning and flash LiDAR.
Laganière explores the types of data produced by LiDAR sensors and explains how this data can be processed using deep neural networks. He also examines the synergy between LiDAR and cameras, and the concept of pseudo-LiDAR for detection.
