Weighing 1 lb, solid-state Peregrine 3D staring array (not scanning), time-of-flight LIDAR vision system uses Class I laser to illuminate area in camera's field-of-view. Reflected laser light creates 3D point clouds of range and co-registered intensity data from single laser pulse per frame for instant streaming from 3D focal plane. System is available as 64 x 32 (2,048) or 128 x 32 (4,096) pixel aspect ratios cameras, and operation ranges from 1–10 Hz to 1–30 Hz depending on model.
