Abstract:
A LIDAR system includes a scanner; a receiver; and one or more processor devices to perform actions, including: scanning a continuous light beam over the field of view in a first scan pass; detecting photons of the continuous light beam that are reflected from one or more objects; determining a coarse range to the one or more objects based on times of departure of the photons of the continuous light beam and times of arrival of the photons at the receiver; scanning light pulses over the field of view in a second scan pass; detecting photons from the light pulses that are reflected from the one or more objects; and determining a refined range to the one or more objects based on times of departure of the photons of the light pulses and times of arrival of the photons at the receiver.

Claim (Index 23):
The media of  claim 21 , further comprising another scanner that scans a light beam at the one or more objects, wherein the other scanner employs another axis that is oriented different than an axis of the scanner to scan the light beam at the one or more objects, wherein the combination of the scanning of the light beam by the other scanner and the scanner provides the scanning of the continuous light beam or the pulsed light beam at the one or more objects.
