Noises in the photons that pass through the spatial filter are further to be rejected based on one or more fixed temporal patterns identified in laser pulses emitted by the LiDAR device. The spatial filter can be implemented using an electrochromic display, an array of micromechanical (MEMS) mirrors, a liquid crystal display (LCD), or an electro-wetting display.
