NON-UNIFORM LIDAR BEAM CONFIGURATION FOR OBJECT DETECTION, TRACKING AND CLASSIFICATION

摘要

An apparatus has a collection of emitters on an emitter substrate with irregular distances between the collection of emitters to produce optical beams in a far field with a more even distribution than conventional optical beams in the far field produced by a conventional collection of emitters with regular distances between the conventional collection of emitters. A collection of receivers on a receiver substrate has irregular distances between the collection of receivers. A system substrate hosts the emitter substrate and the receiver substrate.
