Abstract
In one embodiment, a lidar system includes a light source configured to emit pulses of light. The lidar system also includes a scanner configured to scan at least a portion of the emitted pulses of light along an interlaced scan pattern, including: (i) scanning the portion of the emitted pulses of light substantially parallel to a first scan axis to produce multiple scan lines of the interlaced scan pattern; and (ii) distributing the scan lines along a second scan axis in an interlaced manner, where the interlaced scan pattern is an n-fold interlaced scan pattern that includes n sub-scans, where: n is an integer greater than or equal to 2, each sub-scan includes two or more of the scan lines of the interlaced scan pattern, and the n sub-scans are scanned sequentially where a first sub-scan of the n sub-scans is scanned prior to a second sub-scan.
