Abstract
Provided is a simulator device allowing simplification and cost minimization. A simulator device that generates and emits, to a LiDAR shining a laser light at a plurality of scanning locations, a false light corresponding to said laser light, and comprises: a light focusing unit that focuses the laser light shined at the plurality of scanning locations; and a simulator that, in accordance with the laser light focused by the light focusing unit, generates the false light resembling scattered light that is produced in a prescribed location, and emits the false light to the LiDAR via the light focusing unit.
Claims3
A simulator device for use with a LiDAR that illuminates a plurality of scanning positions with laser light, the simulator device generating false light corresponding to the laser light and emitting the false light to the LiDAR, the simulator device comprising:
- condenser units configured to collect the laser light emitted to the plurality of scanning positions;
- and
- a simulator configured to generate, in correspondence with the laser light collected by the condenser units, the false light simulating scattered light produced in a given position, and to emit the false light to the LiDAR through the condenser units.
