DARPA developing mini-LIDAR
DARPA is developing miniature laser imaging systems.
The Modular Optical Aperture Building Blocks (MOABB) program aims to develop ultracompact light detection and ranging systems, according to a DARPA news release. LIDAR sends out light and then measures distance by how long the reflected light takes to return. Unlike cameras, which take 2-D images, LIDAR is 3-D. However, the technology is too bulky for widespread use.
