    Abstract: There is provided a LIDAR system and method for surveying a Field of View (FOV) comprising: an illumination system, a light-sensitive detector, a scanning unit and at least one processing unit, wherein the illumination system is configured to project a first light with first illumination parameters, deflected by the scanning system through a window toward the field of view of the LIDAR system; and the light-sensitive detector is configured to receive light reflected from objects in the field of view and deflected by the scanning unit; and the at least one processing unit is configured to analyze detected light and determine information about the objects, and wherein the illumination system is further configured to project a second light with second illumination parameters toward a window vicinity.

    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 is provided. The LIDAR system comprises at least one processor configured to: control light emission of a light source; scan a field of view by repeatedly moving at least one light deflector located in an outbound path of the light source; while the at least one deflector is in a particular instantaneous position, receive via the at least one deflector, reflections of a single light beam spot along a return path to a sensor; receive from the sensor on a beam-spot-by-beam-spot basis, signals associated with an image of each light beam-spot, wherein the sensor includes a plurality of detectors and wherein a size of each detector is smaller than the image of each light beam-spot; and determine, from signals resulting from the impingement on the plurality of detectors, at least two differing range measurements associated with the image of the single light beam-spot.
