2.3 Time of Flight
Velodyne LiDAR sensors use time-of-flight (ToF) methodology.
When each IR laser emits a laser pulse, its time-of-shooting and direction are registered. The laser pulse travels through
air until it hits an obstacle which reflects some of the energy. A portion of that energy is received by the paired IR detector,
which registers the time-of-acquisition and power received.
