Abstract

Systems and methods for adaptive scanning in lidar sensors are provided. In some embodiments, a lidar device includes a plurality of channels and a plurality of transmitter-receiver optical subassemblies (TROSAs), with each TROSA including a respective subset of the plurality of channels. Each channel can be assigned to a firing group from a plurality of firing groups. Each firing group can include either one channel or no channels from any given TROSA from the plurality of TROSAs. The channels in each firing group can be configured to scan an environment during a respective window of time assigned to the firing group in a firing sequence.
