Abstract
A Lidar system may comprise a rotor and a stator. The rotor is configured to rotate with respect to the stator. The rotor comprises at least one supporting body and a plurality of light sources disposed on the at least one supporting body, the plurality of light sources configured to emit a plurality of first light beams. The plurality of light beams are non-uniformly distributed along a vertical direction in a vertical field of view of the Lidar system.

A Lidar system comprising a rotor, wherein the rotor comprises:
- a supporting body that has a longitudinal axis in a vertical direction of the Lidar system;
- and
- a plurality of lasers disposed on the supporting body and configured to emit laser beams respectively, wherein the lasers are distributed non-uniformly along the vertical direction from a highest to a lowest of the lasers.
A Lidar system, comprising:
- an emitting apparatus comprising:
- a supporting body that has a longitudinal axis in a vertical direction of the Lidar system;
- and
- a plurality of lasers disposed on the supporting body and configured to emit laser beams respectively, wherein the lasers are distributed non-uniformly along the vertical direction from a highest to a lowest of the lasers;
- an optical splitting apparatus configured to receive and split the laser beams into a plurality of split laser beams with different propagation directions, wherein at least some of the split laser beams overlap;
- and
- a receiving apparatus configured to receive echo beams to detect a target, wherein the echo beams are a portion of the split beams reflected by the target.
