    摘要: A multiline LiDAR includes a rotor, a stator, a plurality of lasers, a light collimator arranged in the rotor, and one or more carriers arranged in the rotor. The plurality of lasers are arranged on the one or more carriers in n rows, n≥2, and lasers in different rows are staggered from each other. The multiline LiDAR is configured such that, when detection light emitted by each laser is reflected by objects, reflected light is converged on a detector after passing through an optical receiver, and detection beams emitted by the plurality of lasers are configured to be driven by the rotor to scan around a central axis to generate a scanning point cloud having a sparse-dense distribution in a vertical direction to obtain information about objects in a central field of view. A number of lines of the multiline LiDAR is equal to or greater than 16.

    摘要: The present invention relates to the field of ranging, and in particular, to a ranging method for a lidar system, and a lidar system. The ranging method for a lidar system includes: emitting a first pulse having a first energy (102); receiving an echo signal corresponding to the first pulse (104); determining, according to the echo signal, whether a preset distance has an obstacle (106); and emitting a second pulse having a second energy in an emission direction of the first pulse corresponding to the determined echo signal when no obstacle is determined within the preset distance, the second energy being greater than the first energy, and not emitting the second pulse in the emission direction of the first pulse corresponding to the determined echo signal when an obstacle is determined within the preset distance (108). Therefore, without increasing the complexity of the system structure, a lidar can satisfy safety requirements for human eyes while increasing the single-pulse energy threshold of a ranging pulse, thereby ensuring telemetering performance and reducing costs.
