    摘要: A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) device is provided. The LIDAR device includes: a light source configured to emit first light, a first reflector configured to omnidirectionally receive second light that is light reflected or scattered by an object that is irradiated by the first light, and reflect the second light, a light detector including a pixel array, the light detector being configured to detect the second light reflected from the first reflector, and a processor configured to acquire location information of the object based on detection of the second light by the light detector.

    摘要: A method of acquiring distance information of an object by using a LiDAR apparatus includes: irradiating a first laser light of a first type toward surroundings of the LiDAR apparatus for a first time period; receiving a first reflected laser light of the first laser light reflected from a first object located around the LiDAR apparatus, by using an optical sensor of the LiDAR apparatus; irradiating a second laser light of a second type, which is different from the first type, toward the surroundings of the LiDAR apparatus for a second time period following the first time period; receiving a second reflected laser light of the second laser light reflected from a second object located around the LiDAR apparatus, by using the optical sensor; and acquiring an image frame including distance information representing a distance between the LiDAR apparatus and the first object and distance information representing a distance between the LiDAR apparatus and the second object, based on the first reflected laser light and the second reflected laser light.

    摘要: An electronic apparatus includes a processor configured to identify a first distance based on locations of first pixels that received the reflective light, and identify a second distance based on locations of the second pixels that received the reflective light, and calculate a difference between the first and second distances, and based on a distance acquired by the calculation and a moving distance of the electronic apparatus identified through the second sensor, identify whether the reflective light is reflective light reflected by an object or reflective light that was reflected on the object and then reflected again by another object.
