| Project Overview | This research and development addresses the development of the 3D PCSEL*-LiDAR systems equipped with PCSELs. Considering infrastructure sensors and measuring ranging in the field of view of potential blind spots in the vicinity of vehicles, the R&D will first develop a prototype of a wide FOV mechanical 3D PCSEL-LiDAR system. Furthermore, a non-mechanical 3D PCSEL-LiDAR system will be prototyped and developed, which is expected to be smaller, lower cost and less power consuming in the future, and the project will aim at acquiring feasibility of achieving the same or better performance than typical benchmarks in the future. Recognition technology using 3D PCSEL-LiDAR systems will also be developed, and the effectiveness of PCSEL-LiDAR systems will be demonstrated through pilot tests utilizing them as infrastructure and onboard sensors. *PCSEL(Photonic Crystal Surface Emitting Laser) |
