Systems and methods for extended field of view and low light imaging

Abstract

Systems and method are provided for generating an image of an environment of a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: determining, by a processor, a first position of a plurality of positions within a first field of view; controlling, by the processor, a discrete scanning device based on the first position; capturing, by an imaging device, pixel data for a plurality of pixels within a second field of view associated with the first position, wherein the second field of view is within the first field of view; and combining, by the processor, the pixel data from the second field of view with pixel data captured from a third field of view associated with one of the plurality of positions to form image data depicting the environment of the vehicle.
