37 37 Future Outlook of LiDAR Technology Automotive industry Solid state / flash LiDAR technology Multispectral LiDAR Single photon LiDAR

38 38 Automotive Industry Driving the development of low-cost light-weight LiDARs Range accuracy or beam divergence are not the primary targets

39 39 Solid-State Technology Automotive applications require low cost and high reliability Optical beam steering

40 40 Flash LiDAR Low volume and high price of InGaAs components Frame based, but low resolution

41 41 Multispectral LiDAR Optech Titan or multiple scanners, e.g. Faro S120 + X330 Currently heavy and expensive

42 42 Single photon LiDAR Currently available for full-scale airborne laser scanning

43 43 Summary UAV-based measurements can be used as reference data for some applications Efficiency compared to manual measurements may be higher by an order of magnitude Current LiDAR sensors are still heavy, expensive, inaccurate and/or limited in measurement range Development towards new sensor technologies is rapid
