List of LiDAR for mass production; Engineers working with LiDAR and students studying LiDAR and autonomous driving; Also available in print N2 - This book elaborates the fundamentals, theory and structure of ToF LiDAR, main components used in ToF LiDAR, and driver and processing circuits in ToF LiDAR. This book combines professional and academic knowledge as well as industrial knowledge and experience of LiDAR in autonomous driving. The objective of the book is to give a comprehensive introduction on LiDAR itself from an engineering perspective, rather than its applications which have been elaborated in many LiDAR related book. This book will be useful for graduate students and early-stage researchers who are interested in LiDAR or whose research topics are related to LiDAR and junior engineers in LiDAR companies or in robotic companies who use LiDARs to sense and navigate.
