The system may also include an optical system, including one or more deflectors to project the at least two laser light beams toward a field of view of the LIDAR system. Each of the laser light beams may have an energy density below an eye safe level. However, a total combined energy density of the laser light beams may exceed an eye safe level.

摘要: A LIDAR system for use in a vehicle is provided. The LIDAR system may include at least one processor configured to control at least one light source for illuminating a field of view and scan a field of view by controlling movement of at least one deflector at which the at least one light source is directed. The at least one processor may also be configured to receive, from at least one sensor, reflections signals indicative of light reflected from an object in the field of view. The at least one processor may further be configured to detect at least one temporal distortion in the reflections signals, and determine from the at least one temporal distortion an angular orientation of at least a portion of the object.

摘要: A time-of-flight (TOF) optical sensor may include a controller, a sensing array, and a readout unit. The sensing array may include a plurality of sensing cells. The readout unit may include a plurality of readout TOF modules. The number of the plurality of readout TOF modules may be less than the number of the plurality of sensing cells. The controller may be configured to trigger a connection of a first sensing cell of the plurality of sensing cells to a first readout TOF module of the plurality of readout TOF modules at a first time during a sampling period, thereby enabling the first readout TOF module to provide a first measurement of a change in output of the first sensing cell.

摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for a LIDAR system with a mirror housing and a window. The LIDAR system may include a light deflector, a mirror housing encasing the light deflector comprising a window for transmitting light between the light deflector and an exterior of the mirror housing, and a sensor positioned outside the mirror housing for detecting light signals from an environment of the LIDAR system. The light signals may propagate from the environment through the window to the light deflector, and from the light deflector through the window to the sensor. The window may be configured such that light arriving from outside of a field of view of the LIDAR system is deflected by the window away from the sensor. The LIDAR system may also include a processor for processing the light signals detected by the sensor to determine a distance to an object in the environment of the LIDAR system.
