Abstract:
A method in a lidar system for scanning a field of regard of the lidar system is provided. The method includes identifying, within the field of regard, a ground portion that overlaps a region of ground located ahead of the lidar system; causing a light source to emit pulses of light; scanning at least a portion of the emitted pulses of light along a scan pattern contained within the field of regard, including adjusting a scan parameter so that at least one of a resolution or a pulse energy for the ground portion of the field of regard is modified relative to another portion of the field of regard; and detecting at least a portion of the scanned pulses of light scattered by one or more remote targets.

Claim (Index 21):
The method of  claim 18 , wherein:\n the scan pattern has a particular horizontal resolution, and wherein the method further comprises increasing the horizontal resolution for the ground portion of the field of regard.
