Please refer to the respective ILIAS course for the specific dates.

In this course the functionality of a lidar sensor is explained and then put into context with relevant use cases. Typical criteria for the evaluation of the performance are then presented. In the following the concept of the sensor is presented in detail and all relevant components are introduced individually. Afterwards they are qualitatively related to each other and the whole system is quantitatively examined by means of the lidar equation. Finally, the interaction of the components is further considered to present meaningful combinations and design solutions.
