Remote sensing for detection and ranging of objects

Aspects of the present disclosure involve example systems and methods for remote sensing of objects. In one example, a system includes a light source, a camera, a light radar (lidar) system, a region of interest identification circuit, and a range refining circuit. The region of interest identificat...

Zusammenfassung:Aspects of the present disclosure involve example systems and methods for remote sensing of objects. In one example, a system includes a light source, a camera, a light radar (lidar) system, a region of interest identification circuit, and a range refining circuit. The region of interest identification circuit identifies a region of interest corresponding to an object and a first range of distance to the region of interest using the camera and the light source. The range refining circuit probes the region of interest to refine the first range to a second range of distance to the region of interest using the lidar system, the second range having a lower uncertainty than the first range.
