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 10):
The machine vision system of  claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:\n determine that the returned light comprises an extended return, shaped as a pulse extended over a period of time greater than a threshold value, detect a likely target return, shaped as a short pulse superimposed on the extended return, and in response to detecting the likely target return, select the likely target return to generate a lidar pixel value.
