Abstract: Provided are a multi-axis scanning system and method that utilize a single scanner. The scanner radially projects an output beam in a first angular plane over a range of scan angles. At least one reflector is fixed relative to the scanner to receive the output beam in at least one portion of the range of scan angles and redirects the received output beam in at least one other angular plane extending at least partially beneath the first angular plane. The first angular plane can be substantially parallel to a ground surface and the at least one other angular plane can include a plane that extends from the reflective surface to the ground surface. The scanner can be configured to detect a reflection of the output beam, to determine a distance to an object reflecting an incident output beam.
