Biography/History:

Wei Wei is now working as an associate professor in Guangzhou University and also a Hong Kong scholar in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research area covers LiDAR, semiconductor optoelectronic devices, depth estimation, and autonomous driving. He obtained a PhD in 2015 in the State Key Lab of Information Photonics and Optical Communications, Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications. Then he worked as a postdoc researcher in University College Cork/Tyndall National Institute from 2015 to 2016. After that, he worked in Huawei Technology Ltd. Co. as a research engineer from 2016 to 2017. Then he joined Guangzhou University as associate professor in 2017. During this period, he also part-time worked as deputy director in Kexin Silicon Photonics Technology. Ltd. Co. and R&D director in Opus Microsystem (Shenzhen) for a short time. From 2018 November he has also worked as an HK scholar in the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He has participated in research projects of National Key Research and Development Program, European Office of Aerospace Research and Development, Science Foundation Ireland, National Basic Research Program of China, National Natural Science Foundation of China, Huawei Research Programs. He has more than 40 publications, nine authorized patents. He has served as a reviewer for more than 10 journals such as Optics Express, IEEE Network, IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, Journal of Lightwave Technology, and is now an associate editor of IEEE Access and moderator of IEEE TechRxiv.

Summary:

This book elaborates the fundamentals, theory and structure of ToF LiDAR, main components used in ToF LiDAR, and driver and processing circuits in ToF LiDAR. This book combines professional and academic knowledge as well as industrial knowledge and experience of LiDAR in autonomous driving. The objective of the book is to give a comprehensive introduction on LiDAR itself from an engineering perspective, rather than its applications which have been elaborated in many LiDAR related book. This book will be useful for graduate students and early-stage researchers who are interested in LiDAR or whose research topics are related to LiDAR and junior engineers in LiDAR companies or in robotic companies who use LiDARs to sense and navigate. Part of IOP Series in Advances in Optics, Photonics and Optoelectronics.
