A screenshot of Tangram Vision’s LiDAR comparison tool Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) is a sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure distance. LiDAR is useful in autonomy for a number of key functions such as obstacle avoidance, object detection, and object identification. The 3D data from spinning LiDAR is often a key input into navigational systems for autonomous vehicles and robots.
