LIDAR SYSTEM SELECTIVELY CHANGING A SIZE OF THE FIELD OF VIEW

A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system is provided. The LIDAR system comprises at least two lasers configured to emit aligned beams of light and a mirror configured to deflect the beams of light emitted by the lasers. The mirror is supported to be pivotable with respect to an axis of the mirro...

Zusammenfassung:A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system is provided. The LIDAR system comprises at least two lasers configured to emit aligned beams of light and a mirror configured to deflect the beams of light emitted by the lasers. The mirror is supported to be pivotable with respect to an axis of the mirror so as to allow the beams of light to scan a field of view of the LIDAR system. The LIDAR system further comprises a driver configured to drive the mirror into oscillations and a controller. The controller is configured to control at least one laser so as to selectively change a size of the field of view and/or to control the driver so as to selectively change the size of the field of view.
