Abstract
A method for managing scanning by a LIDAR system, the method being performed by a controller. The method includes controlling a scanning mirror to scan a plurality of light beams outward from the LIDAR system, the plurality of light beams being created by a light source of the system, causing the scanning mirror to rotate at a first rate in a first rotational direction, and causing the scanning mirror to rotate at a second rate in a second rotational direction, the second rate being greater than the first rate; sensing, by a sensor array of the LIDAR, incident light on the scanning mirror reflected to the sensor array; determining a distance-information point cloud while the scanning mirror is in the first direction; and determining an image of a scanned area surrounding the LIDAR system while the scanning mirror is rotating in the second direction.
