Abstract:
Various embodiments are disclosed for improved scanning ladar transmission, including but not limited to an example embodiment where a dynamic scan pattern for a scanning ladar transmission system includes interline skipping and detouring.

Claim (Index 5):
The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the scanning ladar transmission system comprises a processor and a beam scanner, the beam scanner comprising a mirror;\n wherein the processor is configured to process a plurality of range points to create an ordered set of range points, each range point having an associated row identifier and an associated column identifier that together define a mirror scan position, the ordered set serving as a shot list for the scanning ladar transmission system, wherein the processor, as part of the processing operation, is further configured to:\n determine, based on a parameter indicative of an amount of time needed by the scanning ladar transmission system to (i) scan from a current row to another row, (ii) scan to a range point in the another row, and (iii) return to the current row, whether any interline detours are to be used for the scanning ladar transmission system to target the range points; \n sort the range points into the ordered set based on the interline detour determinations; and \n in response to a determination that an interline detour is to be used, tag the shot list with interline detour identifier within the ordered set at a location where the interline detour is to be performed; and \n \n wherein the beam scanner is configured to scan the mirror to a plurality of mirror scan positions in accordance with the shot list including any interline detour identifiers present therein to target the range points via the dynamic scan pattern, wherein the mirror scan positions define where the scanning ladar transmission system is targeted; and \n wherein the scanning ladar transmission system is further configured to transmit, via the scanning mirror, a plurality of ladar pulses toward the range points of the shot list in accordance with the dynamic scan pattern.
