Zusammenfassung:A light detection and ranging (LIDAR) device includes a first light emitter, a second light emitter, a first light detector, and a second light detector, wherein the first light emitter is configured to emit light pulses in a first direction and the second light emitter is configured to emit light pulses in a second direction. During a scan of the LIDAR device, the first direction intersects an object at a first time and the second direction intersects the object at a second time. A relative speed of the object can be determined based on a first range to the object when the first direction intersects the object and a second range to the object when the second direction intersects the object.
