==LIDAR OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240264314 titled 'LIDAR OBJECT DETECTION SYSTEM

==Simplified Explanation==
The patent application describes a method for detecting objects relative to a vehicle using laser beams and backscatter light.

* A set of laser beams is emitted into the atmosphere from a vehicle.
* Backscatter light generated in response to emitting the laser beams is received and filtered.
* Parameters relating to the presence of an object relative to the vehicle are determined using the filtered backscatter light and a filtered reference light.

==Key Features and Innovation==
* Detection of objects relative to a vehicle using laser beams and backscatter light.
* Filtering of backscatter light and reference light to determine the presence of objects.
* Utilization of a tunable optical filter system for filtering the received light.

==Potential Applications==
* Autonomous driving systems for vehicles.
* Collision avoidance systems.
* Object detection in various weather conditions.

==Problems Solved==
* Enhances object detection capabilities for vehicles.
* Improves safety measures for drivers and pedestrians.
* Provides real-time information on object proximity.

==Benefits==
* Increased accuracy in object detection.
* Enhanced safety features for vehicles.
* Improved decision-making for autonomous systems.

==Commercial Applications==

==Original Abstract Submitted==

a method, apparatus, system, and computer program product for detecting an object relative to a vehicle. a projected component of a laser radiation is emitted as a set of laser beams into an atmosphere from a vehicle. a backscatter light generated in response to said emitting the laser beam into the atmosphere is received to form a received backscatter light. the received backscatter light is filtered using a tunable optical filter system to form a filtered backscatter light. a control component derived from the laser radiation is filtered using the tunable optical filter system to form a filtered reference light. a set of parameters relating a presence of the object relative to the vehicle is determined using the filtered backscatter light and the filtered reference light.
