Lidar system for detecting objects at different distances
A newly granted patent (Publication Number: US12000960B2) discloses a LIDAR system that includes a processor controlling a LIDAR light source to illuminate a field of view and receiving input signals from an array of light detectors. The processor processes subsets of input signals from different regions of the field of view to detect objects at varying distances. The system outputs information on the distance to detected objects, with the processor dynamically adjusting the processing of input signals based on detection information and environmental factors.
The LIDAR system's design allows for the differentiation of foreground and background regions within the field of view, with the processor adjusting the illumination levels accordingly. The system can spatially separate or overlap regions for detection, with the processor dynamically defining the size of regions based on various factors like ambient lighting conditions and object reflectivity. Additionally, the system utilizes a scanning cycle with a moving light deflector to generate input signals from different positions, enabling the processor to analyze subsets of input signals for object detection during the cycle. This innovative approach enhances the system's ability to accurately detect objects at varying distances within the field of view.
