Can lidar say what colour is traffic light?

SapporoChris 2 hours ago | parent | next [-]

I believe traffic lights currently use three bulbs, red, yellow and green. Even without color a computer system can easily determine when each light is lit.

If there are single bulbs displaying red, green and yellow please give clear examples.

Flashing lights over rural intersections often do that. There is only one color there (yellow or red), but position is not a signal

How about turn signal vs brake lights?

Potentially as extraneous as range to a surface that a camera can’t tell apart from background.

More to the point, everyone but Tesla is doing cameras plus Lidar. It’s increasingly looking like the correct bet.

It’s not either lifar or regular cameras. Use both and combine the information to exceed the humans

What proportion is camera data and what is LIDAR?

Must be solved problem and something you should buy already? Right?

Something I've seen noises about is time of flight systems for traffic. I think the idea is you can put those systems on traffic lights, cars, bicycles, and pedestrians and then cars can know where those things are.

You can't do that though. Someone will not wear it - and they shouldn't have to.
