Abstract:
A machine vision system comprises a camera configured to generate one or more images of a field of regard of the camera, a lidar system, and a processor. The lidar system includes a laser configured to emit light, where the emitted light is directed toward a region within the field of regard of the camera and a receiver configured to detect light returned from the emitted light. The processor is configured to receive an indication of a location based on the returned light and determine whether a solid object is present at the location based on the one or more images.

Claim (Index 35):
The method of  claim 25 , further comprising:\n receiving a plurality of indications of location, each of the indications of location based on a respective pulse of returned light; for each of the pulses of returned light:\n determining a shape of the pulse; and \n determining whether the determine shape corresponds to a result of scattering by (i) rain or (ii) one of fog, haze, or dust, to generate pulse classification, and \n selecting one or more of the indications of location, using the generated pulse classifications along with the data descriptive of the scene received from the camera, to generate one or more lidar pixel values.
