SYNCHRONIZATION OF MULTIPLE LIDAR SYSTEMS

In one implementation, a LIDAR system includes a laser emission unit configured to generate a laser beam; a scanning unit configured to deflect the laser beam toward a field of view of the LIDAR system, and cyclically scan the laser beam over the field of view during a plurality of frame capture eve...

Zusammenfassung:In one implementation, a LIDAR system includes a laser emission unit configured to generate a laser beam; a scanning unit configured to deflect the laser beam toward a field of view of the LIDAR system, and cyclically scan the laser beam over the field of view during a plurality of frame capture events; and a processor programmed to: determine an actual frame capture progression for the LIDAR system based on an actual frame capture rate of the scanning unit; receive, from a location external to the LIDAR system, an indicator of a current external time; determine an expected frame capture progression for the LIDAR system based on a target frame capture rate for the scanning unit and based on the indicator of the current external time; and adjust the actual frame capture rate of the scanning unit in response to a detected difference between the actual frame capture progression and the expected frame capture progression.
