Scan patterns for lidar systems
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a first lidar sensor comprising;
a first scanner configured to scan a 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 a different 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; and
a second receiver configured to detect scattered light from the second set of pulses of light; and
an enclosure, wherein;
the first lidar sensor and the second lidar sensor are contained within the enclosure; and
the enclosure comprises a window configured to transmit the first set of pulses of light and the second set of pulses of light.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a system includes a first lidar sensor, which includes a first scanner configured to scan first pulses of light along a first scan pattern and a first receiver configured to detect scattered light from the first pulses of light. The system also includes a second lidar sensor, which includes a second scanner configured to scan second pulses of light along a second scan pattern and a second receiver configured to detect scattered light from the second pulses of light. The first scan pattern and the second scan pattern are at least partially overlapped. The system further includes an enclosure, where the first lidar sensor and the second lidar sensor are contained within the enclosure. The enclosure includes a window configured to transmit the first pulses of light and the second pulses of light.
