Surround Lidar Sensors
As the name suggests, ‘surround’ LiDAR has a 360° field of view, enabling the real-time 3-dimensional mapping of the spatial environment on all sides of the sensor. This furthers what is possible within the fields of vehicle automation and digital mapping. What takes a number of solid-state LiDAR units to achieve can be done with one of our surround LiDAR units.
