Description

The lidar chip, first introduced in october 2020, uses an invisible infrared laser to measure time-of-flight distances to nearby objects with millimeter accuracy. This tiny computer chip is breakthrough technology that could enable low-cost detection of salmonids as they move over shallow riffles in small and currently unmonitored spawning streams. FDS will build an automated test system for acquiring statistically valid data that characterizes the lidars ability to detect salmonids as they move across a controlled flow tank. The experiments will be designed to define the range of streamflow, depth, weather, lighting and moving target characteristics that can be reliably detected by an array of lidar chips. These tests will determine the commercial feasibility of a small, portable and easily-deployed devic
