Abstract
A system including a LiDAR system of an autonomous vehicle. The LiDAR system includes at least one light emitter and at least one light detector to generate analog output signals based on reflected pulses of light. A comparator receives the analog output signals from the light detector and generates digital output signals based on the analog output signals and a threshold. A controller receives a first digital output signal of the digital output signals from the comparator based on the threshold, adjusts the threshold, receives at least one further digital output signal of the digital output signals from the comparator based on the threshold as adjusted, and/or determines at least one aggregation based on the first digital output signal and the further digital output signal(s).
