Claim One:
1. A device comprising: a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) device, wherein the LIDAR device comprises: a light source configured to emit light within a wavelength range, wherein the light source comprises a fiber laser; a scanning portion configured to direct the emitted light in a reciprocating manner about a first axis; and a plurality of detectors configured to sense light within the wavelength range; a housing, wherein at least the scanning portion is disposed within the housing, and wherein a wall of the housing comprises a light filter configured to allow light within the wavelength range to propagate through the light filter; a rotational mount configured to rotate about a second axis; and a controller configured to: receive target information based on an initial three-dimensional (3D) representation of the environment of the device, wherein the target information is indicative of at least one of: a type of object, a size of an object, a shape of an object, a position, a location, or an angle range; in response to receiving the target information, cause the rotational mount to rotate so as to adjust a pointing direction of the LIDAR; cause the LIDAR to scan a field-of-view (FOV) of the environment, wherein the FOV extends away from the LIDAR along the pointing direction; and determine a 3D representation of the environment based on data from scanning the FOV.
