Abstract
This paper presents an experimental evaluation of the performance of a laser range finder, AccuRange 4000 by Acuity Research, a popular distance sensor in robotics research and industrial automation. Our study determines the performance of the ranging device under various operating conditions, including lighting, temperature, and surface color, and orientation. Based on the empirical data, a calibration model is developed to allow one to interpret the range measurements accurately.
