Abstract
Techniques for determining whether a reflected lidar pulse has been subject to multipath reflection effects are disclosed. An initially emitted lidar pulse is generated having a property that varies across the pulse (either spatially in cross-section and/or temporally). Detected reflected pulses are analyzed to determine if they have similar or different properties. If the properties of both pulses are similar, the reflected pulse was likely not affected by multipath reflection. If the properties are similar, the reflected pulse likely was affected by multipath reflection. Pulses having a high likelihood of multipath reflections may be discarded (or disregarded) for subsequent processing.
