Patent attributes
A distributed LiDAR comprises: an optical transceiver assembly, multiple distributed scanning units, and a distributed optical fiber connector assembly. The optical transceiver assembly includes: a light source emitting detection light, and a light receiving unit used for receiving a detection echo. The multiple distributed scanning units are distributed on the carrier of the distributed LiDAR. The distributed optical fiber connector assembly is in coupled connection with the optical transceiver assembly and the multiple distributed scanning units. The detection light emitted by the light source in the optical transceiver assembly is synchronously transmitted by the distributed optical fiber connector assembly to the multiple distributed scanning units. The multiple distributed scanning units emit the detection light to a detected area with a scanning device, and receive a reflected echo from the detected area. The reflected echo is transmitted to the optical transceiver assembly by the distributed optical fiber connector assembly.
