The blog post is very badly written to figure out what really these folks are doing and what sets them apart. Here’s my guess: they are detecting laser bounces using modified camera and using that camera to generate visual image at the same time as point cloud. It’s still a mechanical moving lidar at 10hz, range is 120m and resolution of 2048 horizontal beams per 360-degree and 16 beams verticle looks pretty good, although not completely out of the league.
