Some targets in our warehouse are matte black while others have reflective labels. Product pages show different distance values under different conditions. How should these values be interpreted when defining a reliable operating range?
How much does target reflectivity affect a LiDAR selection?

Emma | Field NotesField Applications Engineer · Independent Field Engineering · 4 weeks agoTreat distance figures as condition-dependent, not as one guaranteed boundary for every target. Define the lowest-reflectivity target you must detect and validate it at the required angle, distance and ambient-light condition.
