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

摘要

The invention relates to a LIDAR target simulator (18) for testing a LIDAR device (12). The LIDAR target simulator (18) comprises a screen (20), a light impinging determination module (26), a control and/or analysis module (28) and a response generation module (30). The light impinging determination module (26) is configured to determine the location of impinging light on the screen (20) and to forward information concerning the location determined to the control and/or analysis module (28). The control and/or analysis module (28) is configured to process the information concerning the location determined by the light impinging determination module (26) and to determine a response based on a target scenario applied. The control and/or analysis module (28) is further configured to control the response generation module (30) in accordance with the response determined. The response generation module (30) is configured to generate a diffuse response signal to be received by the LIDAR device (12). Further, a LIDAR testing system (10) and a method of testing a LIDAR device (12) are described.
