Topic:  Development and Evaluation of an Opto-Mechanical Setup for LiDAR-Targets Alignment

LiDAR stands for Light Detection and Ranging. It is a distance method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges. LiDAR has become a leading technology due to its recent growth in many applications such as Autonomous Vehicles, Robotics and mapping. It measures the time it takes for each laser pulse to bounce back from an obstacle. This pulsed laser measurement is used to create 3D models. LiDAR Range measurement is a part of our research and development activities at ficonTEC. We measure the range by detecting reflective targets at different positions. The aim of this thesis is to develop an opto-mechanical setup to align the LiDAR systems with the required reflective targets. Then, to evaluate the measurement method by testing different types of commercial LiDARs and Targets. Finally, investigating the performance by changing the surrounding environment.



The following points should be covered:

1. Theoretical Research

• Different types of LiDARs
• LiDARs working Principle
• State of the art of the LiDAR-Targets alignment methods
• Mathematical description of the final alignment working principle

 

2. Experimental Research:

• Operating different types of LiDAR systems
• Performing the required Opto-mechanical setups and analyses
• Implementing and evaluating the required setup
• Developing a Python code for calculations and evaluation
• Investigating the measurement performance by changing the surrounding environment

3. Thesis Report in english

 

 

• Appropriate remuneration opportunities
• Distinctive prospects incl. international career opportunities
• Exciting, international clients from a wide range of industries
• Onboarding program and individual support
• Annual employee appraisals for your targeted and individual development/personal development
• Short decision-making processes, opportunity to get involved and change things
• Discount opportunities for employees (e.g., City for two, benefits app)
• Top hardware incl. ergonomic workplace conditions
• Of course: regular company events (e.g., summer party, Christmas party, B2Run), free drinks and parking spaces
