Sensor Requirements For Developing Robust Environment Perception Systems

In recent years, sensor systems for environment perception have become increasingly important - whether for adaptive robotics, automated driving, industrial process and quality control, or condition monitoring. The aim is always to detect and interpret certain environmental characteristics. In doing so, it’s important to choose not only the right algorithm but also the right sensor or sensor system. The choice of sensor depends, of course, on its characteristics, but more importantly on the specific requirements of the application, the environmental conditions, the necessary precision and resolution, and how well it can be integrated into existing systems.
The first step is to define the requirements and specifications of the application.
