Abstract
A light detection and ranging (LiDAR) method may include generating, by a first transmitter, a first light illumination signal; generating, by a second transmitter, a second light illumination signal; receiving first return signals corresponding to the first light illumination signal; receiving second return signals corresponding to the second light illumination signal; and sampling the first return signals or the second return signals during a short-range sampling period, such that the short-range sampling period avoids a period of dazzle.
