Abstract: A LIDAR system has a laser emission unit configured to generate a plurality of laser beams. The system has a scanning unit configured to receive the plurality of laser beams. The common scanning unit projects the plurality of laser beams toward a field of view of the LIDAR system. The system has at least one processor. The processor is programmed to cause the scanning unit to scan the field of view of the LIDAR system by directing the plurality of beams along a first plurality of scan lines traversing the FOV. The processor is also programmed to displace the plurality of laser beams from a first set of locations associated with the first plurality of scan lines to a second set of locations associated with a second plurality of scan lines. Further, the processor is programmed to direct the plurality of laser beams along the second plurality of scan lines.

Abstract: A LIDAR system is disclosed. The system has a laser light projection system to simultaneously project at least two laser light beams. The system also has a deflector to project the at least two laser light beams toward a field of view of the LIDAR system. Each of the at least two laser light beams has an energy density below an eye safe level. A total combined energy density of the at least two laser light beams is above an eye safe level. Further, the at least two laser light beams projected from the deflector are separated from one another by an angular spacing ranging from 2.5 mrad to 6 mrad.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a LIDAR system may include at least one processor configured to control at least one light source for projecting light toward a field of view and receive from at least one first sensor first signals associated with light projected by the at least one light source and reflected from an object in the field of view, wherein the light impinging on the at least one first sensor is in a form of a light spot having an outer boundary. The processor may further be configured to receive from at least one second sensor second signals associated with light noise, wherein the at least one second sensor is located outside the outer boundary; determine, based on the second signals received from the at least one second sensor, an indicator of a magnitude of the light noise; and determine, based on the indicator the first signals received from the at least one first sensor and, a distance to the object.

Abstract: A LIDAR system may include a processor configured to control a LIDAR light source in a manner enabling light flux to vary over scans of a field of view (FOV). The FOV may include foreground and background areas. The processor may be further configured to receive from a detector input signals indicative of light reflected from the FOV. A representation of a portion of the FOV associated with pixels may be constructible from the input signals associated with a first pixel that covers a portion of the foreground area, a second pixel that covers a portion of the foreground area and a portion of the background area, and a third pixel that covers a portion of the background area. The processor may be further configured to determine a distance to a first object located in the foreground area and a distance to a second object located in the background area.

Abstract: A LIDAR system for use in a vehicle may include at least one light source configured to project light toward a field of view for illuminating a plurality of objects in an environment of a vehicle and at least one processor configured to control the at least one light source in a manner enabling light flux of light from the at least one light source to vary over scans of a plurality of portions of the field of view. The LIDAR system may receive information indicating that a temperature associated with at least one system component exceeds a threshold, and in response to the received information indicating the temperature exceeding the threshold, modify an illumination ratio between two portions of the field of view such that during at least one subsequent scanning cycle less light is delivered to the field of view than in a prior scanning cycle.

Abstract: A LIDAR system for use in a vehicle may include at least one processor configured to control at least one light source in a manner enabling light flux of light to vary over a scanning cycle of a field of view. The processor may also be configured to control at least one deflector to deflect light to scan the field of view. The processor may also be configured to obtain input indicative of an impending cross-lane turn of the vehicle, and in response, coordinate the control of the at least one light source with the control of the at least one light deflector to increase light flux on a side of the vehicle opposite a direction of the cross-lane turn, causing a detection range opposing the direction of the cross-lane turn of the vehicle to temporarily exceed a detection range toward a direction of the cross-lane turn.
