Abstract:
A lidar system operates in a vehicle and includes a light source configured to emit light, a scanner configured to direct the emitted light so as to scan a field of regard of the lidar system in accordance with a scan pattern, and a receiver configured to detect the light scattered by one or more remote targets. The scanner includes a rotatable polygon mirror configured to scan the FOR along a horizontal dimension, a polygon mirror axis about which the polygon mirror rotates, and a y-scan mirror pivotable along an axis orthogonal to the polygon mirror axis and configured to scan the FOR along a vertical dimension. The polygon mirror has multiple reflective surfaces being angularly offset from one another. The polygon mirror axis is disposed on a plane substantially parallel to a plane along which the vehicle moves.

Claim (Index 16):
The vehicle of  claim 15 , wherein:\n the polygon mirror axis is in line with a longitudinal axis of the vehicle; and displacement of the polygon mirror when the vehicle accelerates or decelerates quickly is limited to only the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, to thereby reduce misalignment of scan lines in the horizontal dimension.
