Project Title:
LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) Medium-Range Obstacle Detection System for the DARPA Grand Challenge.

Project Description (provided by group):
The DARPA Grand Challenge vehicle here at UMASS Dartmouth needs various on-board obstacle detection systems. Once such sub-system is a LIDAR Medium-Range (30 - 100m) sub-system. The System uses lasers to determine the distance to targets within the field of view of the DARPA vehicle and outputs the measured data to the DARPA vehicle artificial intelligence host computer.
