Abstract
A LiDAR system includes alight emitter, a light detector, and a controller. The controller is programmed to: activate the light emitter to emit a series of shots into a field of view of the light detector; activate the light detector to detect shots reflected from an object in the field of view; record the detected shots from a first subset of the series of shots; group a second subset of the series of shots not in the first subset; and based on the detected shots from the second subset of the series of shots, identify an object moving in the field of view
Claims25
A LiDAR system comprising:
- a light emitter;
- a light detector;
- and
- a controller programmed to:
- activate the light emitter to emit a series of shots into a field of view of the light detector;
- activate the light detector to detect shots reflected from an object in the field of view;
- record the detected shots from a first subset of the series of shots;
- group a second subset of the series of shots not in the first subset;
- and
- based on the detected shots from the second subset of the series of shots, identify an object moving in the field of view.
A method operating a LiDAR system, the method comprising:
- activating a light emitter to emit a series of shots into a field of view of a light detector;
- activating the light detector to detect shots reflected from an object in the field of view;
- recording detected shots from a first subset of the series of shots;
- grouping a second subset of the series of shots not in the first subset;
- and
- identifying an object moving in the field of view based on detected shots from the second subset of the series of shots.
