Abstract
A lidar system is disclosed. The lidar system can include a light source to produce first and second sets of pulses of light. The system can also include a first lidar sensor with a first scanner to scan the first set of pulses of light along a first scan pattern, and a first receiver to detect scattered light from the first set of pulses of light. The system can also include a second lidar sensor with a second scanner to scan the second set of pulses of light along a second scan pattern, and a second receiver to detect scattered light from the second set of pulses of light. The first scan pattern and the second scan pattern can be at least partially overlapped in an overlap region. The lidar system can also include an enclosure to contain the light source, the first lidar sensor, and the second lidar sensor.
