    100 kilolux to darker, low-visibility environments. Thanks to the innovative de-noising algorithms built-into the unit, the Livox Mid series is able to effectively reduce the noise caused by atmospheric particles such as rain, fog, and dust, as well as interference from other LiDAR sensors.
  • Page 5 The diagram shows that when the integration time is less than 0.1 seconds, the FOV coverage of the Livox Mid-40 is similar to the 32-line LiDAR sensor. As the integration time increases, however, the FOV coverage of the Livox Mid-40 increases significantly while the 32-line LiDAR sensor remains the same.
