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 Burton Pettinger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8747065737\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798747065734\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":"Burton Pettinger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44072078442751,"sku":"9798747065734","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_90b86be8-70a5-40e6-9a7a-16c9cc8d210a.jpg?v=1685439839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autonomous-vehicle-lidar-instruction-burton-pettinger-9798747065734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
