Description

Crosstalk
Removal
Inter-segment interference noise removal.
Crosstalk is a phenomenon inherent to all multiple
segments time-of-flight sensors. It causes a degradation of
the distance measurement accuracy of an object when one
or more objects with significantly higher reflectivity are
detected in other segments at a similar distance.
This option enables an algorithm to compensate the
degradation due to crosstalk.
This algorithm increases the computational load of the
LeddarVu module microcontroller. It is recommended to
disable the crosstalk removal if the module is configured to
run at rates higher than 50 Hz.
N/A
Crosstalk
Echo Removal
When selected, this parameter can further increase
accuracy by removing secondary echoes that might still be
present in adjacent segments after applying the first stage
of crosstalk removal.
N/A
Object
demerging
Eases the discrimination of multiple objects in the same
segment.
Object demerging is only available for measurement rates
under 5.0 Hz. Also, the accumulation value must be of 64
and the oversampling value of 8.
The number of merged pulses that can be processed in
each frame is also limited. A status field is available in the
device state window (Leddar
TM
Configurator) indicating if
the sensor processes all merged pulses.
The measurement of demerged objects tends to be less
precise than for usual detections.
See below for more details.
