Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are a lidar apparatus and a control method thereof. The lidar apparatus includes: a transmission and reception module transmitting a laser signal and receiving a reflected signal reflected from an object; an output module outputting a calculated object distance; a memory storing a measurement count allocated for each distance range; and a processor operatively coupled to the transmission and reception module, the output module, and the memory, wherein after repeating a process of generating a histogram by accumulating the reflected signals received through the transmission and reception module for a set measurement count, the processor calculates an object distance based on a peak value of the histogram and outputs the calculated object distance through the output module, and then modifies, based on the object distance, the set measurement count based on the measurement count allocated for each distance range, to repeat the process of calculating the object distance.
