SPAD DCNN: Localization with small imaging LIDAR and DCNN

Small 3D LIDAR and a multimodal-based localization are fundamentally important for autonomous robots. This paper describes presentation and demonstration of a sensor and a method for LIDAR-image based localization. Our small LIDAR, named SPAD LIDAR, uses a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD). The S…
