 信頼されるLiDARに向けて

信頼されるAIを実現するにはAI自身の習熟度以外にもセンサの"信頼性"が求められる。本講演では自動運転やロボティクスで必需3DセンサであるLiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging)の信頼性を主に高解像度化とセキュリティの二面から問う。まず3D情報を活用したAIが十分な信ぴょう性を持つためにはLiDARの高解像度が不可避である。そのような高解像度LiDARの実現方法を回路システム的見地から議論し、先端LiDARの発展と照らし合わせる。そしてLiDARのハッキング可能性について議論し、セキュリティ方面の研究を紹介し、最後にハッキングの防衛方法を講じる。

  3. Slide 6 距離センサのベンチマーク • 自動運転の盛り上がり – トヨタも2020年代前半に市街地自動運転の実現を明言 • 自動運転には周辺環境のセンシングが必須 –

    しかしミリ波レーダやソナーでは性能不足 センサ 特徴 超音波 近距離の物体検知を安価に実現。長距離は苦手。 カメラ 自動車以外に歩行者・自転車の検出、標識の認識が可能。距離情報の取得はやや不得意 ミリ波レーダー 耐天候性があり長距離測距が可能。検知範囲が狭く、距離精度・空間分解能が低い。 LiDAR ミリ波レーダーに比べ環境の影響を受けやすいが、距離精度・空間分解能が高い。 自動運転システムではLiDARが重要なセンサに
  4. Automobile LiDAR Requirements Slide 8 • Long range (>200m) 200m

    Braking distance@120km/h >150m 17cm debris = 0.1 deg. @ 100m • High image resolution (<0.1deg)
  5. LiDAR Fundamentals Slide 9 Detects the distance to object by

    measuring ToF LiDAR System Laser SoC SiPM Laser pulse time time SiPM output ToF Light Reflected ToF Laser emitted Distance to object Light speed x ToF 2 = ToF
  6. Noise problem of automotive LiDAR • Sunlight affects the measurement

    Why digital lidar is the future https://ouster.com/blog/why-digital-lidar-is-the-future/ Analog LiDARs (e.g. Velodyne) • Discrete Laser/RX • APD receivers • EELs Many components..  Expensive LiDARs  Difficult to scale Getting “points” for each component
  11. Next Gen. LiDARs (or digital LiDARs) • Analog LiDARs –

    Discreate components – Unscalable resolution – Poor lasers/detectors (EEL, APD) • Next Gen. LiDARs – Integrated components • Higher performance, but lower price (as in Moore’s law) • Mass production LiDARs can be in $500~1000 range – Scalable performance – SoTA laser/detectors (VCSELs, SPADs) Slide 15

  15. What can we do with Next Gen. LiDARs? While sunlight

    photons are random events, Laser photons are periodic → Accumulation improves SNR by square root of acc. pixels Pix.1 Pix.2 Pix.3 Laser Accumulation of pix.1~3 ToF Sunlight • Accumulation, or oversampling for higher SNR – Strategies: Frame accumulation and Nearby pixel accumulation – If the pixel is “watching” the same object, SNR improves [Niclass, ISSCC2013]
  16. Main Tradeoffs in LiDAR Design • Requirement extremely strict for

    self-driving LiDARs Importantly: Laser power limited by eye-safety but not for attackers.. Measurement Distance Sunlight Tolerance Image Quality (FPS, num.pixels) Image Quality High Low Measurement Distance [m] 100 200

  18. Concept of Smart Accumulation Technique (SAT) • Classify objects utilizing

    LiDAR raw-data characteristics • Accumulate pixels watching the same object only; SNR improves significantly – Peak level has high correlation with distance and reflectivity of the object – Floor level also has strong correlation with the object distance and reflectivity A D G B E H C F I Pixel A,B,C Pixel D,E,F,G,H,I time time Peak level Peak level Floor level Floor level
