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 2):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising another scanner that scans a light beam at the one or more objects, wherein the other scanner performs one or more actions including:\n employing the light beam to scan the one or more objects at a slower rate than the scanner scans 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.
