We are devoted to develop lidar, time-of-flight, electro-optical and single photon imaging systems from our experience in combining optomechanics, electronics and software developed along twenty years of optomechanical engineering practice.
Lidar imaging allows obtaining 3D images in real time using compact cameras, based on laser pulses whose time-of-flight to a distant target is measured. This pointwise measurement is converted into an image using some scanning strategy, enabling imaging with high resolution at very long distances.
We have developed a multiple patented, new approach to 3D lidar image sensing which combines four key advantages over current commercial systems in a single device. Our technology enables systems which are:
• Cost effective • High spatial resolution
• Operative in outdoor environments
• Robust, with little maintenance (no moving elements)
• Based entirely in solid state technology
This makes our systems reconfigurable in range and spatial resolution so they can be adjusted to a very large number of applications, including autonomous robotic systems and vehicles, security-based applications, and aeronautics, among many others.
