Lidar system for creating 3d models of large scenes
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11885885B2) discloses a LIDAR system comprising multiple anchored LIDAR sensing units, each equipped with a housing, detector, communication unit, and integratory processing unit. These units work together to provide a three-dimensional (3D) model of a scene larger than any individual unit's field of view. The integratory processing unit wirelessly transmits 3D data to vehicles based on their type, speed, or location, with varying levels of detail. Additionally, the system includes processors to determine operational parameters and can incorporate additional sensors like cameras, RADAR, and ultrasound detectors for enhanced functionality.
Furthermore, the patent describes a method for LIDAR processing in a distributed system, where detection information from multiple anchored LIDAR sensing units is processed to create a comprehensive 3D model of the scene. This model is then used to wirelessly transmit data to vehicles based on their characteristics. The system also includes an integratory LIDAR system with a communication module and processing unit to handle data from multiple sensing units and transmit detailed 3D data to vehicles. The integratory processing unit can also influence driving decisions based on the 3D model, showcasing the system's potential applications in autonomous driving and advanced safety features. Overall, the patent highlights the innovative approach to LIDAR technology, emphasizing collaborative data processing and detailed spatial awareness for vehicles in real-time scenarios.
