    Abstract: A method of processing of LIDAR measurement data including: receiving successive LIDAR 3D data sets over a time from a LIDAR system moving, during the time, through space, each LIDAR 3D data set corresponding to a measurement field of view (FOV) of the LIDAR system; identifying a plurality of objects in the LIDAR 3D data sets; designating at least one of the plurality of objects as at least one potential aggressor object; tracking position of the one or more potential aggressor objects relative to the LIDAR system as the one or more potential aggressor objects move outside of the measurement FOV of the LIDAR system; and characterizing one or more of the plurality of objects as one or more multi-path object using tracked position of the one or more potential aggressor objects.

    Abstract: A pulsed laser diode driver may include at least one low side switching circuit connected to at least one laser diode. The at least one laser diode may generate at least one light pulse. The low side switching circuit may include an input for receiving energy. The low side switching circuit may also include an inductor configured to store at least a portion of the received energy. Further, the low side switching circuit may include a trigger switch. The trigger switch may cause the inductor to store the portion of the received energy when the trigger switch is closed, and the trigger switch may cause the portion of the received energy stored in the inductor to be delivered to the at least one laser diode after the trigger switch is opened.
