[0001] This application is a continuation application of International PCT Application No. PCT / CN2018 / 086768, filed May 14, 2018, which claims priority to Chinese Application No. 201810291177.X, filed Apr. 3, 2018, each of which is entirely incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] Lidar technology can be used to obtain three-dimensional information of an environment by measuring distances to objects. A Lidar system may include at least a light source configured to emit a pulse of light and a detector configured to receive returned pulse of light. The returned pulse of light or light beam may be referred to as echo light beam. Based on the lapse time between the emission of the pulse of light and detection of returned pulse of light (i.e., time of flight), a distance can be obtained. The pulse of light can be generated by a laser emitter then focused through a lens or lens assembly. The returned pulse of light may be received by a detector locat...
