Systems and methods for IQ detection
16 Mar 21
A system and method for combining multiple functions of a light detection and ranging (LIDAR) system includes receiving a second optical beam generated by the laser source or a second laser source, wherein the second optical beam is associated with a second local oscillator (LO); splitting the second optical beam into a third split optical beam and a fourth split optical beam; transmitting, to the optical device, the third split optical beam and the fourth split optical beam; receiving, from the optical device, a third reflected beam that is associated with the third split optical beam and a fourth reflected beam that is associated with the fourth split optical beam; and pairing the third reflected beam with the second LO signal and the fourth reflected beam with the second LO signal.

Utility
Optical array sensor for use with autonomous vehicle control systems
14 Sep 20
A downwardly-directed optical array sensor may be used in an autonomous vehicle to enable a velocity (e.g., an overall velocity having a direction and magnitude, or a velocity in a particular direction, e.g., along a longitudinal or lateral axis of a vehicle) to be determined based upon images of a ground or driving surface captured from multiple downwardly-directed optical sensors having different respective fields of view.
