Abstract

A multiplexed LiDAR system generates an image of an object based on the distance of various point measurements to the object. The multiplexed LiDAR utilizes at least two sets of light source emissions to a scanner to simultaneously form multiple scanning patterns that effectively increase the scanning speed, scanning area, or image pixel density of the LiDAR system.
