LiDAR/ToF Sensor System Based Various Applications: A Review

Abstract

Abstract— The review article will first introduce the basic concept of LiDAR/ToF (Light detection and ranging based on time of flight) sensor system. Then, numerous applications based on LiDAR/ToF sensor are given in specific fields such as consumer electronics, industrial, smart-city, autonomous vehicles, and space & military. In addition, the technology trends and road map of those products are also discussed in detail. This review will be great references for sales, marketing, and researchers whom plan to work on LiDAR technology. Keywords—Self-driving car, Light distance and ranging, Time of flight, 3D camera.
