Abstract
A compact perception device for an autonomous driving system is disclosed. The compact perception device includes a lens configured to collect both visible light and near infrared (NIR) light to obtain collected light including collected visible light and collected NIR light. The device further includes a first optical reflector optically coupled to the lens. The first optical reflector is configured to reflect one of the collected visible light or the collected NIR light, and pass the collected light that is not reflected by the first optical reflector. The device further includes an image sensor configured to detect the collected visible light directed by the first optical reflector to form image data; and a depth sensor configured to detect the collected NIR light directed by the first optical reflector to form depth data.
