Lidar Technology

Technical principles behind Hesai lidar operation and performance characteristics.

Ranging Accuracy and Precision

How accuracy (deviation from true value) and precision (consistency across measurements) are defined and measured in time-of-flight lidar

Ranging Capability

Detection range metrics — instrumented range, maximum range, and minimum range — and the hardware and environmental factors that influence them

Reflectivity

How surface reflectivity affects lidar detection performance, point cloud accuracy, and target recognition

Field of View, Resolution and Point Rate

How point cloud characteristics like point cloud density, coverage, and detail rendering capability are defined and their impact on product performance and applications
