Abstract
First and second detection systems coupled to a controller are synchronized, with the first detection system including first emission and detection modules while the second detection system includes a second detection module, for emitting radiation towards and detecting radiation from a region. A pulse of radiation emitted from the first emission module is detected by the first and second detection modules for a first time interval starting at time T1 and for a second time interval starting at time T2, respectively. The radiation received is compared to determine a radiation difference measurement. The starting time T2 is adjusted relative to starting time T1 based at least in part upon the radiation difference measurement to determine a revised starting time T2, thereby aiding the synchronization of starting time T2 with starting time T1.
