To buy the right LiDAR sensor, you must balance technical performance against your specific project needs, ranging from simple hobbyist distance modules to professional 3D mapping systems.

: Necessary for fast-moving outdoor vehicles to detect hazards early. Field of View (FoV) :

: Ideal for indoor robots or slow-moving autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs).

: Accuracy varies based on target material. Sensors are often rated at 80-90% remission (white objects), but range can drop to 25% or less for dark objects like coal or tires. Environmental Protection :

: Provide vertical FoV (often 30° to 40°) to understand object shape and depth. Resolution and Point Density :

: Choose based on your environment.
