  • Patent number: 11679803
    Abstract: A data transmission apparatus is applied to a LiDAR. The data transmission apparatus includes a first optical module, a second optical module, and a coupling optical system. The coupling optical system is arranged between the first optical module and the second optical module. The first optical module is communicatively connected to a LiDAR front-end apparatus, and the second optical module is communicatively connected to an upper application apparatus. The first optical module is configured to receive a first digital signal output by the LiDAR front-end apparatus and convert the first digital signal into an optical signal. The coupling optical system is configured to transmit the optical signal output by the first optical module to the second optical module. The second optical module is configured to convert the optical signal into the first digital signal and output the first digital signal to the upper application apparatus for processing.

  • Publication number: 20230035528
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a LiDAR and an automated driving device. The LiDAR includes an emission driving system, a laser transceiving system, and a control and signal processing system. The laser transceiving system includes an emission assembly and a receiving assembly. The emission assembly is configured to emit an outgoing laser. The receiving assembly includes an array detector, and the array detector includes a plurality of detection units. The array detector is configured to synchronously and sequentially turn on the detection units to receive an echo laser, and the echo laser is the laser returned after the outgoing laser is reflected by an object in a detection region. The emission driving system is used to drive the emission assembly. The control and signal processing driving is used to control the emission driving system to drive the emission assembly, and used to control the receiving assembly to receive the echo laser.

  • Publication number: 20220171071
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention pertain to the technical field of a radar, and provide a LiDAR and an automated driving device. The LiDAR includes a transceiver component and a scanning component. The transceiver component includes n transceiver modules, where n is an integer and n>1, and each transceiver module includes an emission module and a receiving module that are correspondingly arranged. The emission module is configured to emit an outgoing laser. The receiving module is configured to receive an echo laser, which is a laser returning after the outgoing laser is reflected by an object in the detection region. The scanning component includes a rotation reflector that rotates around a rotation shaft. The rotation reflector includes at least two reflecting surfaces. The n transceiver modules correspond to the at least two reflecting surfaces.

  • Patent number: 10422749
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to a system that displays an image of the characteristics of the biological tissue. During operation, the system enables a user to illuminate a measurement location in an area of interest on the biological tissue by manipulating a point measurement probe, wherein the point measurement probe delivers both an excitation beam and an overlapping aiming beam that is visible to a camera. Next, the system obtains fluorescence information from a fluorescence signal emitted from the measurement location in response to the excitation beam. The system then captures an image of the area of interest using the camera and identifies a portion of the image that corresponds to the measurement location by identifying a location illuminated by the aiming beam. Finally, the system generates an overlay image by overlaying the fluorescence information onto the portion of the image that corresponds to the measurement location, and then displays the overlay image to a user.
