MULTI-BEAM LIDAR SYSTEMS WITH TWO TYPES OF LASER EMITTER BOARDS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION USING THE SAME

摘要

A multi-beam LiDAR system (102, 300) is provided. The multi-beam LiDAR System (102, 300) includes a transmitter(202) having an array of laser emitters (310, 400). Each laser emitter is configured to emit a laser beam (201). The laser emitter array (310, 400) includes a first type of laser emitter board (4101, 4102, 4301, 4301, 5101, 5102) and a second type of laser emitter board (4201, 5201). The second type of laser emitter board (4201, 5201) includes two or more laser emitters. The second type of laser emitter board (4201, 5201) is not parallel to a predefined plane.
