SINGLE PHOTON LIDAR IN MOBILE LASER SCANNING: THE SAMPLING RATE PROBLEM AND INITIAL SOLUTIONS VIA SPATIAL CORRELATIONS [PDF]
Single photon lidars (in solid state form) offer several benefits over pulsed lidars, such as independence of micro-mechanical moving parts or rotating joints, lower power consumption, faster acquisition rate, and reduced size.
