Timing quantization error in lidar speed-measurement devices

摘要

Minimizing the timing quantization error of lidarnspeed-measurement devices is an important step in reducing the magnitudenof the speed-measurement errors associated with these devices. Thisnpaper presents a statistical model for the timing quantization error andndemonstrates how this model can be used to select the values of keyntiming parameters. The values of these parameters must be carefullynselected so that manufactured equipment meets current model lidarnspeed-measurement device performance standards established by thenNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
