M10 Low Cost TOF LiDAR Scanner – Outdoor

M10 Low Cost LiDAR Scanner

The M10 low cost LiDAR scanner adopt the TOF principle, with a 360 ° scanning and measurement range is up to 5m. The ranging accuracy is ±3cm, which can identify the position, size, and moving direction of the detected object in real-time. As it has high capability for anti-sunlight glare, it can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications. 

 

Ranging Principle of M10 Low Cost LiDAR Scanner

N series LiDAR uses the optical structure of receiving and transmitting level side by side. In the installation of LiDAR and system integration design, the optical structure inside LiDAR should be considered. In order to facilitate the customer’s use, especially the calculation of geometric relationship, We define a polar coordinate system with the center point of the LiDAR as pole, clockwise as positive, and the outlet direction as zero degree angle.

(1) A laser diode emits a beam of ultrashort laser pulses onto the target object.
(2) The laser pulses are diffusely reflected after hitting the target object. The returning beam is detected by an optical sensor.
(3) Distance to the object can be accurately measured by calculating the time between laser emission and receipt.
The working principle is shown in the figure below:
