Patent attributes
A Lidar system and method is provided for adaptive control. The Lidar system comprises: an array of emitters each of which is individually addressable and controlled to emit a multi-pulse sequence, at least a subset of the emitters are activated to emit multi-pulse sequences concurrently according to an emission pattern; an array of photosensors each of which is individually addressable, at least a subset of the photosensors are enabled to receive light pulses according to a sensing pattern, each of the subset of photosensors is configured to detect returned light pulses returned and generate an output signal indicative of an amount of optical energy associated with at least a subset of the light pulses; and one or more processors electrically coupled to the array of emitters and the array of photosensors and configured to generate the emission pattern and the sensing pattern based on one or more real-time conditions.
