Distance Laser Measurements

Sammanfattning: A LIDAR that measures distance to an object in motionmust be directed with precision. This is something thatcan be done automatically. In this project, a constructionwhere two LIDAR sensors are attached to each step motorsis built. One LIDAR scans the environment in 2D and asecond LIDAR is directed based on the information fromthe scanning sensor. In order to get rid of incorrect valuesand to find a central position on an object, differentvariants of moving average filters are used and tested. Theresult shows that a filter with fewer values included in theaverage analysis of the filter, resulting in a more stable result,especially when the object being tracked is located faraway from the sensor. The results show that the conceptcan be used for tracking a moving object.
