Abstract
In one embodiment, a computing system may transmit, using one or more light emitters, light beams of different wavelengths simultaneously into a surrounding environment. The system may determine a characteristic of the surrounding environment based on reflections of the light beams. In response to a determinization that the characteristic of the surrounding environment satisfies a criterion, the system may configure the one or more light emitters to transmit light beams of different wavelengths sequentially into the surrounding environment for measuring distances to one or more objects in the surrounding environment.
