Abstract
A system and method for vehicle odometry using coherent range Doppler optical sensors. The system and method includes operating a Doppler light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system to collect raw point cloud data that indicates for a point a plurality of dimensions, wherein a dimension of the plurality of dimensions includes an inclination angle, an azimuthal angle, a range, or a relative speed between the point and the LIDAR system; determining a corrected velocity vector for the Doppler LIDAR system based on the raw point cloud data; and producing revised point cloud data that is corrected for the velocity of the Doppler LIDAR system.
