In systems\n      using non-repeating scan patterns, accumulated coverage can become denser\n      as more measurements are collected. Whether this is beneficial depends on\n      motion, integration time, object geometry and the downstream perception\n      algorithm.\n\n    <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n\/* =========================================================\n   SECTION 04 \u00b7 2D VS 3D\n   ========================================================= *\/\n\n.lidar3d-compare {\n  box-sizing: border-box;\n  padding: 88px 28px 94px;\n  background: #ffffff;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare * {\n  box-sizing: border-box;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-inner {\n  max-width: 1220px;\n  margin: 0 auto;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-head {\n  max-width: 900px;\n  margin-bottom: 46px;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-kicker {\n  margin-bottom: 14px;\n  color: #647f91;\n  font-size: 12px;\n  font-weight: 800;\n  letter-spacing: .12em;\n  text-transform: uppercase;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-kicker span {\n  margin-right: 10px;\n  color: #129fe9;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare h2 {\n  margin: 0;\n  color: #12364e;\n  font-size: clamp(32px, 4vw, 46px);\n  line-height: 1.13;\n  letter-spacing: -.03em;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-intro {\n  margin: 20px 0 0;\n  color: #5d7688;\n  font-size: 17px;\n  line-height: 1.75;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-table {\n  overflow: hidden;\n  border: 1px solid #dbe7ed;\n  border-radius: 18px;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-row {\n  display: grid;\n  grid-template-columns: 1.2fr 1fr 1fr;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-row + .lidar3d-compare-row {\n  border-top: 1px solid #e2ebef;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-cell {\n  padding: 17px 19px;\n  color: #617b8c;\n  font-size: 13px;\n  line-height: 1.6;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-cell strong {\n  color: #173b54;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-headcell {\n  background: #f3f8fa;\n  color: #5d788a;\n  font-size: 11px;\n  font-weight: 900;\n  letter-spacing: .08em;\n  text-transform: uppercase;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-callout {\n  display: grid;\n  grid-template-columns: 1fr 1fr;\n  gap: 18px;\n  margin-top: 25px;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-box {\n  padding: 25px 27px;\n  border-radius: 16px;\n  border: 1px solid #dbe7ed;\n  background: #f8fbfd;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-box-blue {\n  background: #edf8fd;\n  border-color: #d1eaf6;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-box h3 {\n  margin: 0;\n  color: #173b54;\n  font-size: 19px;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-box p {\n  margin: 10px 0 0;\n  color: #647d8e;\n  font-size: 14px;\n  line-height: 1.7;\n}\n\n.lidar3d-compare-link {\n  display: inline-flex;\n  margin-top: 15px;\n  color: #0e84c0;\n  font-size: 13px;\n  font-weight: 800;\n  text-decoration: none !important;\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 760px) {\n  .lidar3d-compare {\n    padding: 68px 20px 74px;\n  }\n\n  .lidar3d-compare-row {\n    grid-template-columns: 1fr;\n  }\n\n  .lidar3d-compare-headcell {\n    display: none;\n  }\n\n  .lidar3d-compare-cell {\n    border-top: 1px solid #e7eef2;\n  }\n\n  .lidar3d-compare-callout {\n    grid-template-columns: 1fr;\n  }\n}\n<\/style>\n\n<section class=\"lidar3d-compare\" id=\"lidar3d-2d-vs-3d\" aria-labelledby=\"lidar3d-compare-title\">\n  <div class=\"lidar3d-compare-inner\">\n\n    <div class=\"lidar3d-compare-head\">\n      <div class=\"lidar3d-compare-kicker\">\n        <span>04<\/span> Technology Comparison\n      <\/div>\n\n      <h2 id=\"lidar3d-compare-title\">\n        2D LiDAR vs 3D LiDAR: Which One Fits the Application?\n      <\/h2>\n\n      <p class=\"lidar3d-compare-intro\">\n        3D LiDAR is not automatically an upgrade from 2D LiDAR.

   Yes. LiDAR provides its own optical illumination and therefore does\n            not require visible scene lighting in the same way as a passive\n            camera.
