By John Oncea, Editor | LiDAR – is there anything it can’t do? Invented in the 1960s on the heels of the invention of the laser, LiDAR became commercially viable in the late 1980s. Today, it’s omnipresent, allowing us to do things we’ve never seen before in ways we never imagined. |

|
| IR Optics For Automotive Night Vision And ADAS | Application Note | Ophir Optics Group | Thermal imaging night vision systems use the thermal energy (heat) emitted by all objects to allow for “sight,” even in complete darkness. This application note discusses the benefits of thermal sensors over standard vision systems in ADAS. |
