Scan patterns for lidar systems
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a light source configured to produce a first set of pulses of light and a second set of pulses of light;
a first lidar sensor comprising;
a first scanner configured to scan the first set of pulses of light along a first scan pattern; and
a first receiver configured to detect scattered light from the first set of pulses of light;
a second lidar sensor comprising;
a second scanner configured to scan the second set of pulses of light along a second scan pattern, wherein the first scan pattern and the second scan pattern are at least partially overlapped in an overlap region; and
a second receiver configured to detect scattered light from the second set of pulses of light; and
an enclosure, wherein the light source, the first lidar sensor, and the second lidar sensor are contained within the enclosure.

Abstract
A lidar system is disclosed. The lidar system can include a light source to produce first and second sets of pulses of light. The system can also include a first lidar sensor with a first scanner to scan the first set of pulses of light along a first scan pattern, and a first receiver to detect scattered light from the first set of pulses of light. The system can also include a second lidar sensor with a second scanner to scan the second set of pulses of light along a second scan pattern, and a second receiver to detect scattered light from the second set of pulses of light. The first scan pattern and the second scan pattern can be at least partially overlapped in an overlap region. The lidar system can also include an enclosure to contain the light source, the first lidar sensor, and the second lidar sensor.
