Assignee: CMOS SENSOR, INC.
Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 15:
16. A method for pseudo 3D mapping, the method comprising:
measuring a distance towards a target by a first linear sensor as part of a lidar system, wherein the distance is measured at a predefined height from a ground;
scanning and generating a video of an environment by a second linear sensor, wherein the first linear sensor and the second linear sensor are in a predefined rigid relationship, image data from the second linear sensor is incorporated with the distance obtained from the first linear sensor, both of the first and second linear sensors are mounted on a robot moving in the environment, an image of the environment is generated from the second linear sensor synchronized with respective distances obtained from the first sensor while the robot is moving in the environment.
