Lidar device, method for operating the same and non- transitory computer- readable storage medium storing program for performing the method

Abstract

A LIDAR device is disclosed. The LiDAR according to one embodiment of the present disclosure may include an optical transmitter for transmitting a laser pulse for detection of an external object, an optical receiver for receiving the laser pulse reflected by the external object, and a controller for controlling the optical transmitter and the optical receiver, wherein the controller may determine whether a first condition or a second condition is met, if the first condition is met, the optical transmitter may transmit a duty cycle of the laser pulse at a first duty cycle under control of the controller, and if the second condition is met, the optical transmitter may increase the duty cycle of the laser pulse to a second duty cycle greater than the first duty cycle under the control of the controller and transmit at the second duty cycle.
