Claim 10:
11. A vehicle control system, comprising:
a laser source configured to generate a beam;
one or more scanning optics configured to transmit the beam; and
one or more processors configured to:
operate the one or more scanning optics to obtain a plurality of first range measurements in a field of view of the one or more scanning optics from at least one of reflection or scattering of the transmitted beam by one or more objects;
identify a particular range gate of a plurality of range gates corresponding to a subset of first range measurements of the plurality of first range measurements;
adjust a minimum angle and a maximum angle that are assigned to the particular range gate;
determine a scan pattern for the particular range gate, based on the minimum angle assigned to the particular range and the maximum angle assigned to the particular range gate;
operate the one or more scanning optics using the scan pattern to obtain a plurality of second range measurements for the particular range gate; and
move a vehicle based on the plurality of second range measurements.
