3D point cloud sensor uses lidar and mems scanning

Pepperl+Fuchs has combined laser pulse ranging and piezoelectric 2D scanning to create 3D point clouds. Adopting mems scanner technology from the Fraunhofer Institute for Silicon Technology (Fraunhofer ISIT), the proof-of-concept, dubbed R3000, sweeps a 40° x 30° cone at ranges “from a few centimetres to several hundred meters with millimetre accuracy,” according to P+F. “Ambient ...
