Detecting a pulse train by a time-of-flight lidar system

This document describes a time-of-flight lidar system configured to process pulse trains instead of individual pulses to improve range resolution and pixel throughput. Each pulse in a pulse train is output at a respective duration and intensity, which can vary to cause echoes with high intensity and low signal ambiguity, prevent heat buildup, or facilitate safe eye operation. An expected echo intensity as a function of time can be determined. By sampling reflections at the expected times and intensities, the lidar system can quickly identify corresponding lidar echoes despite lidar noise. Return times of the echoes can indicate distances or velocities associated with object pixels in a field of view. Processing pulse trains instead of individual pulses allows pixels to be scanned more quickly than using long duration or frame times, which also improves eye safety. The increased throughput is achieved using low-energy lasers and inexpensive hardware, which minimizes heat footprint.

Pupil-aware eye tracking for eye safety

Eye safety and eye tracking accuracy is enhanced through pupil-aware eye tracking, where a fringe pattern projection or illumination onto the eye is locally dimmed in an area corresponding to the pupil. Fringe projection local dimming is accomplished by modifying (locally dimming) the fringe pattern at the projector. Illumination local dimming is accomplished at the light source (e.g., a laser source) before the light is provided by a micro-electromechanical system (MEMS) to the eye. An amount of light provided to non-pupil areas such as sclera may be increased to enhance a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), which may lead to more accurate eye tracking.
