Accumulation and oversampling techniques are used to maximize range, accuracy and precision. Leddar technology also allows for a high level of versatility,
In addition to oversampling, an accumulation process is accomplished in order to improve the signal to noise ratio. The oversampling value and number of accumulations influence the detection/measurement,
the range, accuracy and precision of the measurements. The performance of the sensor can thus be optimized with these parameters to meet the requirements of the application.
