3.7 Principle of operation
3.7.1 Measurement principle
The device is an opto-electronic LiDAR sensor (laser scanner) that uses laser beams
for non-contact scanning of the outline of its surroundings on a plane. The device meas‐
ures its surroundings in two-dimensional polar coordinates, relative to its measurement
origin. Its measurement origin is marked by a circular indentation in the center of the
optics cover. If a laser beam strikes an object, the position of that object is determined
in terms of distance and direction.
Figure 4: The 2D LiDAR sensor measurement principle
3.7.2 Range finding
The device emits beams pulsed by a laser diode. If a laser pulse hits an object or
person, it is reflected on the surface of the object or person in question. The reflection
is registered by a photosensitive element in the device receiver. The device uses SICK’s
own HDDM+ (High Definition Distance Measurement) technology. With this measure‐
ment process, a measured value is formed by adding together multiple single pulses.
The device calculates the distance from the object based on the elapsed time that the
light requires between emitting the beam and receiving the reflection. Radar systems
apply this “pulse time-of-flight measurement” principle in a similar way.
3.7.3 Direction measurement
The device uses a rotating mirror to deflect the emitted laser beams, thereby scanning
its surroundings in a circular pattern. The measurements are triggered internally by an
encoder in regular angle increments.
The measuring procedure uses the averaging from multiple pulses to determine individ‐
ual measured values. A measuring point is the average value of several measurements
combined.

3.7.4 Object sizes
As the distance from the device increases, the laser beam expands. As a result, the
diameter of the light spot on the surface of the object increases.

Figure 5: Beam expansion
1Expanded laser beam
2Optical axis
Required values for calculating the light spot size and minimum object size:
•Light spot size on the device cover: 7 mm (rounded up)
•Light spot divergence per single pulse: 0.49 deg (8.6 mrad)
•HDDM+ supplement (1 measured value consists of several overlapping single
pulses): 5.8 mrad
Formula for calculating the light spot width:
(Light spot divergence [mrad] + supplement [mrad]) * distance [mm] + light spot size
on the device cover [mm] = light spot width [mm]
Calculation example light spot width at a distance of 4 m, with supplement 5.8 mrad:
(8.6 mrad +5.8 mrad) * 4,000 mm +7 mm = 64.6 mm
Formula for calculating the height of the light spot:
Light spot divergence [mrad] * Distance [mm] + Light spot size at the device cover
[mm] = Light spot width [mm]
Example calculation of the light spot height at a distance of 4 m:
8.6 mrad * 4,000 mm +7 mm = 41.4 mm
Formula for calculating the minimum object size:
2 * supplement [mrad] * distance [mm] + light spot height [mm] = minimum object
size [mm]
Calculation example minimum object size at a distance of 4 m, with supplement
5.8 mrad:
2 * 5.8 mrad * 4,000 mm + 41.4 mm = 87.8 mm

NOTE
For reliable measurement, in particular when using the device to output measured
values, the laser needs to hit the object several times. Therefore, the object either
needs to be larger than the minimum object size, or both the LiDAR sensor and the
object must not be moving.

3.7.5 Impact of object surfaces on the measurement
Remission value
Remission is the ability of a material to reflect light. The remission correlates with the
amount of laser light emitted by the LiDAR sensor which is reflected by an object (see
Lambert’s law).
Glossy surfaces have different remissions at the same distance with different angles of
impact. In the case of shiny surfaces, maximum remission is achieved when the beam
makes vertical impact.
Matt and dull surfaces have diffuse remission. They therefore exhibit similar relative
remissions with the same angle of impact regardless of the distance from the zero
point.

Aluminum (black anodized) 110 … 150%
Steel (stainless, shiny) 120 … 150%
Steel (high gloss) 140 … 200%
Reflection
Most surfaces produce a diffuse reflection of the laser beam in all directions. The
structure (smooth or rough), shape (flat or curved), and color (light or dark) of the
surface determine how well the laser beam is reflected.
On very rough surfaces, a large proportion of the energy is lost due to absorption.
Curved surfaces produce a higher diffusion. Dark surfaces reflect the laser beam worse
than light ones (brilliant white plaster reflects approx. 100% of the light, while black
foam rubber reflects approx. 2.4%). The aforementioned surface characteristics can
reduce the scanning range of the device, in particular for surfaces with low remission
values.
Figure 7: Reflection of light on the surface of the object
Angle of reflection
The angle of reflection corresponds to the angle of incidence. If the laser beam hits
a surface at right angles, the energy is optimally reflected. If the laser beam hits a
surface at an oblique angle, energy and range are lost accordingly.
Figure 8: Angle of reflection
Retroreflection
If the reflective energy is greater than 100%, the beam is not reflected diffusely in all
directions; instead it is reflected in a targeted way (retroreflection). Thus a large part of
the emitted energy can be received by the laser distance measurer. Plastic reflectors
(cat’s eyes), reflective tape, and triple prisms have these properties.

Figure 9: Retroreflection
Reflective surfaces
The laser beam is almost completely deflected on reflective surfaces. This means that
an object hit by the deflected beam may be detected instead of the reflective surface.
Figure 10: Specular surfaces
Small objects
Objects that are smaller than the diameter of the laser beam cannot reflect the laser
light’s full energy. The portion of the light beam that does not reach the object is lost. If
all of the light reflected to the sensor is insufficient, the object may not be detected.
The portion of the light that does not reach the front object can be reflected by a larger
object in the background. If all of the light reflected to the sensor is sufficient, this
object is detected. This can lead to a corruption of the measured value.
Figure 11: Object smaller than the laser beam diameter
3.7.6 Scanning range
The scanning range of the device depends on the remission of the object to be
detected. The better a surface reflects the incident beam back to the device, the
greater the scanning range of the device.
