Analysis of LIDAR Sensors for New ADAS Applications. Usability in Moving Obstacles Detection

Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) applications feasibility is connected with the necessity of trustable sensors. The lack of cheap and reliable sensors underlines the need to use different sensors at the same time. LIDAR provides reliable but limited information of the surroundings for a vehicle application. This paper presents a comparison between two different kinds of LIDAR sensors focusing on their possibilities of being used in ADAS applications. Finally a new method for detecting moving obstacles, mainly vehicles, is proposed. This method has been implemented and tested; results of the different test performed are shown.
