Abstract
A system and method for providing a dynamic composite field of view in a scanning lidar system, such as to improve a signal-to-noise ration of detected light. The dynamic composite field of view can include a subset of the available detector pixels, and can thereby reduce noise introduce by noise sources that can scale with a detector area, such as dark current and gain peaking that can be caused by a capacitance of the photodetector.
