Abstract: A detection method for a LiDAR includes: obtaining detection data of K detection sweeps in a detection cycle, and changing a light-emitting scheme of a laser during the (K+1)th to Nth detection sweeps in the detection cycle based on the detection data of the K detection sweeps. The detection data includes time information and intensity information, and the detection cycle includes N detection sweeps, where N and K are integers, and 1?K<N. The FOV range for an obstacle is identified through initial detection sweeps, and at least one of the transmitting-end scheme or the receiving-end scheme are changed accordingly during subsequent detection sweeps to reduce the power consumption within a FOV range where no obstacle exists and appropriately increase the energy within the sub-fields of view and time slice range where an obstacle exists, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio and the ranging capability.

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.

For a set range of field angles, the lengths of the light-emitting units emitting light simultaneously are greatly reduced by providing the plurality of emission modules.
