Title:
FLASH LIDAR HAVING NONUNIFORM LIGHT MODULATION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2021/019308
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
A method for detecting objects using a LIDAR system may include controlling a light emission assembly comprising a light source in a manner enabling spatial light modulation to a field of view (FOV) of the LIDAR system to vary during different flash light emissions of the light emission assembly. The method may also include controlling a sensor to detect first reflection signals indicative of reflections of first flash light emissions from objects in the FOV. The method may further include determining a nonuniform spatial light modulation for the light emission assembly based on at least one of the first reflection signals. The method may also include instructing the light emission assembly to emit to the FOV a second flash light emission in accordance with the nonuniform spatial light modulation, and detecting an object in the FOV based on second reflection signals of the second flash light emission.
