US 2015/0146190 A1 · LASER RADAR APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR OPERATING THEREOF

Abstract

Provided herein a laser radar apparatus including a plurality of light transmission and reception modules arranged concavely in an opposite direction to a scanning direction based on a surface vertical to the scanning direction, wherein each of the plurality of light transmission and reception modules comprises a transmitter configured to deflect a laser beam and to irradiate the deflected laser beam to a target; and a receiver configured to receive the laser beam reflected from the target.

Dependent claims

A laser radar apparatus comprising:

a plurality of light transmission and reception modules arranged concavely in an opposite direction to a scanning direction based on a surface vertical to the scanning direction,
wherein each of the plurality of light transmission and reception modules comprises a transmitter configured to deflect a laser beam and to irradiate the deflected laser beam to a target;
and
a receiver configured to receive the laser beam reflected from the target.

1 more element

A method for operating a laser radar apparatus, the method comprising:

dividing a plurality of light transmission and reception modules arranged concavely in an opposite direction to a scanning direction based on a surface vertical to the scanning direction into two or more groups;
the two or more groups divided transmitting and receiving a laser beam to and from a target in different time frames from one another;
reading signals received as the laser beam is transmitted and received;
and
obtaining at least one of a location, distance, and image of the target based on the signals read.
