LIDAR TARGET SIMULATOR, LIDAR TESTING SYSTEM AS WELL AS METHOD OF TESTING A LIDAR DEVICE

摘要

A LIDAR target simulator for testing a LIDAR device is described. The LIDAR target simulator includes a screen, a light impinging determination module, a control and/or analysis circuit and a response generation module. The light impinging determination module is configured to determine the location of impinging light on the screen and to forward information concerning the location determined to the control and/or analysis circuit. The control and/or analysis circuit is configured to process the information concerning the location determined by the light impinging determination module and to determine a response based on a target scenario applied. The control and/or analysis circuit is further configured to control the response generation module in accordance with the response determined. The response generation module is configured to generate a diffuse response signal to be received by the LIDAR device. Further, a LIDAR testing system and a method of testing a LIDAR device are described.
