Advanced Scientific Concepts' Peregrine 3D Flash LIDAR Vision System weighs in at 1 pound (445 grams), has no moving parts, is a 3D staring array [i.e., not a scanning device], time-of-flight LIDAR vision system that uses a Class I laser to illuminate the area in the camera’s field-of-view.
Reflected laser light creates 3D point clouds of range and co-registered intensity data from a single laser pulse per frame for instant streaming from ASC’s patented 3D focal plane. Available as 64x32 [2,048] or 128x32 [4,096] pixel aspect ratios cameras, various fields of view lenses are designed or provided to meet application requirements.
The 128x32–A Peregrine operates from 1 to 30 Hz. The 64x32 and 128x32–M models operate from 1 to 10 Hz. The Peregrine 3D cameras complement ASC’s powerful TigerCub 3D vision systems for imaging longer ranges with more pixels. The Peregrine family can synchronize up to 8 cameras simultaneously on a per frame basis. Designed for low power operations, Peregrines are perfect for applications from automotive to surveillance, from mining to aerial mapping, from autonomous vehicle operation to general time-dependent 3D video content creation.
