Abstract
A lidar scanning instrument includes one or more optical elements for redirecting a portion of the output beam sweep of the lidar scanning instrument in a different direction. Three dimensional environment data for both fields of view can be generated. The optical element(s) can be static or moveable, with constant or dynamic motion patterns, to change the direction of the second field of view if desired for the application.
