It is used by a large number of autonomous vehicles to navigate environments in real-time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis tutorial text aims to introduce a technical but nonspecialist reader to autonomous vehicle lidar, starting from the fundamental physics of lidar and motivation for its application to autonomous vehicle systems. We will then introduce a time of flight design concept, following the light pathway through the source and transmitter optics to the photodetector. The next two distinct timing methods will be introduced, followed up by a brief discussion of beam steering. After finishing this text, the reader should be prepared to enter into laboratory explorations on the topic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nathaniel Parga\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8747060735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798747060739\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 98\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.23d","brand":"Nathaniel Parga","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127695798527,"sku":"9798747060739","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_979119c4-0ace-4a35-bb45-1fb80a45f9ae.jpg?v=1687454712","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autonomous-vehicle-lidar-guide-nathaniel-parga-9798747060739","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
