Abstract
The present disclosure describes a system and method for a binocular LiDAR system. The system includes a light source, a beam steering apparatus, a receiving lens, a light detector. The light source is configured to transmit a pulse of light. The beam steering apparatus is configured to steer the pulse of light in at least one of vertical and horizontal directions along an optical path. The lens is configured to direct the collected scattered light to the light detector. The electrical processing and computing device is electrically coupled to light source and the light detector. The light detector is configured to minimize the background noise. The distance to the object is based on a time difference between transmitting the light pulse and detecting scattered light.
