| Abstract(in English) | This paper presents a TDC/ADC hybrid LiDAR SoC to realize reliable self-driving systems. The smart accumulation technique (SAT) is proposed to achieve both 200m and high-pixel-resolution range imaging, which was untrodden with conventional LiDARs. The “smart” accumulation is realized by utilizing simple object recognition with small circuit overhead and when compared to conventional “simple” accumulations, the LiDAR range is enhanced without degrading the pixel resolution. LiDAR measured with 240x96pixels at 10FPS achieves a measurement range of 200m with a 70klux direct sunlight: the measurement range is 2x longer than conventional designs. Furthermore, our LiDAR achieves 4x higher effective-pixel-resolution compared to conventional designs using simple accumulation. Furthermore, a 3D point-cloud image acquired with a real-life environment is disclosed. |
