Abstract
The present invention is directed to lidar systems and methods thereof. In a specific embodiment, the present invention provides a lidar system that includes a SPAD sensor that includes two or more SPAD pixels. The outputs of the two or more SPAD pixels are processed to generate two sets of histogram data. The two sets of histogram data are encoded to generate at least two sets of replicate histogram data that are shifted by predefined offset values. The two sets of histogram data and the at least two sets of replicate histogram data share the same memory block. There are other embodiments as well.
