LiDAR Driving System Using Segmented Activation Patterns

The patent divides the 2D array of emitters and photodetection elements into multiple groups that operate sequentially rather than simultaneously. Each group corresponds to a specific activation pattern, where only certain emitters and their corresponding photodetection elements are active at any given time. This segmentation eliminates cross-talk between adjacent elements while maintaining comprehensive coverage through multiple activation patterns.

The patent employs periodic activation patterns where different groups of emitters and photodetection elements are activated in sequence. Multiple activation patterns are applied periodically to ensure all regions are scanned, achieving both high-speed data acquisition and high measurement precision by eliminating cross-talk through temporal separation of operations.

The patent segments the emitter array into multiple groups that are activated sequentially according to different activation patterns. Each pattern activates a specific subset of emitters with sufficient spacing between them, preventing cross-talk while ensuring complete area coverage through the combination of multiple patterns.

The patent uses periodic activation where different emitter groups are activated in sequence across multiple cycles. This ensures that the entire detection area is covered over time while maintaining low cross-talk levels during each individual activation cycle, as adjacent emitters are not simultaneously active.
