LIDAR SYSTEMS AND METHODS Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC G01S17/00 

FIELD: lidar systems.

SUBSTANCE: present technology relates to lidar detection and ranging systems (LiDAR, Light Detection and Ranging) and to methods for detecting objects in the surrounding space of an autonomous vehicle, in particular to lidar systems and methods for detecting objects in an area of interest of the surrounding space. SUBSTANCE: lidar system for detecting objects contains a radiation source for emitting output beams, a scanner for directing output beams in the field of view, and a controller. The scanner contains a scanning surface having reflective zones with reflective surfaces. Each reflective surface can receive output rays and transmit them as rays propagating along the propagation axis to determine the area of interest within the field of view. At least two different reflective surfaces may form different regions of interest with different propagation axes. The controller is capable of relative movement of the output beams and the scanner to selectively contact the output beams with the reflective area to radiate the output beam to the desired region of interest.

EFFECT: ensuring fast transfer of scanning from one area of interest to another.
