Zusammenfassung:The present invention describes a polarimetric multifunctional LiDAR system (100) adapted to perform ranging and polarimetric measurements for target recognition in autonomous driving applications. The disclosed system (100) comprises in a single device the capacity of light ranging (LiDAR) and active polarimetry, by measuring partially or totally the Mueller matrix of targets and/or Stokes parameters of light return from targets. By combining polarimetry with Artificial Intelligence, the polarimetric multifunctional LiDAR system (100) is able to add a new functionality that allows for distinguishing targets. In addition, the herein disclosed system is able to determine the location and/or velocity of targets. The herein disclosed system comprises an emission system (11) and a detection system (12), both controlled by a control and data acquisition system (21), and with a data processing system (22) for computing range information and target recognition.
