Internet lidar system (ILIS): new generation of lidar system using Internet technology for realizing unattended lidar

Abstract

Most of lidar systems are being manually operated on site, therefore, a frequency of observations is limited due to a manpower etc if the lidar site is geographically far away from a laboratory. In such a case, an unattended automatic lidar system or a remote controllable one is expected as for increasing the frequencies.On the other hand, as well known, a computer is linked to the other through the Internet, and remotely operated each other.We have proposed the Internet LIdar System (named ILIS) as the unattended operational lidar. A concept of the ILIS is controllable through the Internet, anytime and anywhere. The ILIS proposed here has been successfully operating every night without any difficulty of the geographical distance of 1,000km.

Roadside LiDAR Sensor Configuration Assessment and Optimization Methods for Vehicle Detection and Tracking in Connected and Automated Vehicle Applications

“…But most of them focus on calibrating the LiDAR itself for high accuracy and long range, instead of optimizing the sensor position and tilting parameters of the roadside LiDAR sensors for better coverage and objection detection performance. There are commercial simulation models with LiDAR simulation based on its manufacture configuration and preset effective range, for example, Blensor (30), Ondulus LiDAR (31) for ideal optical simulation. However, in field deployment, LiDAR sensor performance can be affected by many factors, such as weather (32)(33)(34)(35)(36), cleanness of the lenses (37), surface reflexibility, and other road geometry and infrastructure limitations.…”
