Tiny, Solid-State Lidar Raises Stakes in the Megapixel Race
"Our lidar is very similar to digital cameras," says Ming Wu, at UCal, Berkeley. "We simply replace the CMOS image sensor with our optical switch array. Instead of just capturing natural light entering the camera, each pixel... can emit a laser light and receive the reflected light from the target."
