Abstract
A system for compensating for an angle difference between outgoing and incoming beams of a scanner in a long range LiDAR surface scan, the angle difference being dependent of the flight travel time of the beam and of a movement of a deflection unit of the scanner. The scanner consists of a transmitter unit emitting laser pulses, a movable deflection unit directing the laser pulses towards a target surface according to a given scan pattern, a receiver unit, comprising of receiving optics and a photo-sensitive time-of-flight sensor, and a control unit. The receiver unit comprises an active device for compensating for the angle difference between outgoing and incoming laser pulses and the control unit actuates the active device of the receiver unit and calculates a predicted angle difference between outgoing and incoming laser pulses based on a prediction of the time difference between the outgoing and incoming laser pulses.
