    摘要: Methods and systems for using a MEMS mirror for steering a LiDAR beam and for minimizing statically emitted light from a LiDAR system are disclosed. A LiDAR system includes a light source that emits a light beam directed at a MEMS device. The MEMS device includes a manipulable mirror that reflects the emitted light beam in a scanning pattern. The MEMS device also includes a substrate positioned adjacent to and at least partially surrounding the mirror. An attenuation layer is disposed on a top surface of the substrate and is configured to attenuate light reflected by the substrate.

    摘要: A light detection and ranging receiver includes a chassis and a first mirror assembly. The first mirror assembly includes a bracket detachably mounted on the chassis, a first mirror mount configured to hold a first mirror for receiving and deflecting a light beam to a photodetector, a first set of elastic connectors attached to both the bracket and the first mirror mount to couple the first mirror mount to the bracket, and a first set of screws extending through the bracket and in contact with the first mirror mount, where the first set of screws are adjustable to change a distance and an orientation of the first mirror mount with respect to the bracket.

    摘要: A voltage generator supplies a voltage to an electronic device of a Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) system. The voltage generator includes a clock source configured to generate a clock signal and a voltage source configured to generate a first voltage signal having a first voltage level. The voltage generator also includes a voltage multiplier coupled to the voltage source and the clock source. The voltage multiplier is configured to generate a second voltage signal having a second voltage level based on the first voltage signal and the clock signal. The second voltage level is higher than the first voltage level.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed related to generating interactive user interfaces that enable a user to alter 3D point cloud data and/or associated pose graph data generated from LiDAR scans prior to generation of a high definition map. A user may make selections in a 2D map representation with overlaid graph node indicators in order to alter graph connections, remove nodes, view corresponding 3D point clouds, and otherwise edit intermediate results from LiDAR scans in order to improve the quality of a high definition map subsequently generated from the user-manipulated data.

    摘要: Malicious processes may be tracked by obtaining process history information of a computing device and obtaining an identification of a malicious software on the computing device. An associated process of the malicious software and actions of the associated process may be identified based on the process history information. Related processes of the associated process and actions of the related processes may be iteratively identified based on the process history information. Tracking information for the malicious software may be generated based on the associated process, the actions of the associated process, the related processes, and the actions of the related processes.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an apparatus for emitting laser light and a system and method for detecting laser light returned from an object. The system includes a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter includes one or more laser sources, at least one of the laser sources configured to provide a respective native laser beam having a wavelength above 1,100 nm. The transmitter also includes a wavelength converter configured to receive the native laser beams provided by the laser sources and convert the native laser beams into a converted laser beam having a wavelength below 1,100 nm. The transmitter further includes a scanner configured to emit the converted laser beam to the object in a first direction. The receiver is configured to detect a returned laser beam having a wavelength below 1,100 nm and returned from the object in a second direction.

    摘要: Embodiments of the disclosure provide an apparatus, system, and method for detecting light returned from an object. The apparatus includes a plurality of lenses. Each lens is configured to collect light from a respective direction. The apparatus also includes a plurality of receivers. At least one of the plurality of receivers corresponds to one of the plurality of lenses and is configured to convert the light collected by the corresponding lens into an electrical signal. The apparatus further includes a multiplexer operatively coupled to the plurality of receivers and configured to select at least one of the plurality of receivers to output the corresponding electrical signal. The selected at least one receiver corresponds to the lens collecting the light returned from the object.
