Abstract: In one embodiment, a lidar system includes a light source configured to emit pulses of light and a scanner configured to scan the emitted pulses of light along a high-resolution scan pattern located within a field of regard of the lidar system. The scanner includes one or more scan mirrors configured to (i) scan the emitted pulses of light along a first scan axis to produce multiple scan lines of the high-resolution scan pattern, where each scan line is associated with multiple pixels, each pixel corresponding to one of the emitted pulses of light and (ii) distribute the scan lines of the high-resolution scan pattern along a second scan axis. The high-resolution scan pattern includes one or more of: interlaced scan lines and interlaced pixels.

Abstract: A system comprises a light source, a receiver, and a processor. The light source is configured to generate an emitted pulse of light. The receiver is configured to detect at least a portion of the emitted pulse of light scattered by an external target and provide a plurality of different measurement signals for the detected emitted pulse of light. The processor is configured to analyze the plurality of different measurement signals to identify the plurality of different measurement signals as corresponding to the same external target and combine the identified plurality of different measurement signals to determine a measurement for the external target.
