Abstract:
MEMS light detection and ranging (LiDAR) is becoming an indispensable sensor in vehicle environment sensing systems due to its low cost and high performance. The beam scanning trajectory, sampling scheme and gridding are the key technologies of MEMS LiDAR imaging. In Lissajous scanning mode, this paper improves the sampling scheme, through which a denser Cartesian grid of point cloud data at the same scanning frequency can be obtained. By summarizing the rules of the Cartesian grid, a general sampling scheme independent of the beam scanning trajectory patterns is proposed. Simulation and experiment results show that compared with the existing sampling scheme, the resolution and the number of points per frame are both increased by 2 times with the same hardware configuration and scanning frequencies for a MEMS scanning mirror (MEMS-SM). This is beneficial for improving the point cloud imaging performance of MEMS LiDAR.

Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...
Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
