==ROTATING LIDAR WITH CO-ALIGNED IMAGER==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250080700 titled 'ROTATING LIDAR WITH CO-ALIGNED IMAGER

==Original Abstract Submitted==

example implementations are provided for an arrangement of co-aligned rotating sensors. one example device includes a light detection and ranging (lidar) transmitter that emits light pulses toward a scene according to a pointing direction of the device. the device also includes a lidar receiver that detects reflections of the emitted light pulses reflecting from the scene. the device also includes an image sensor that captures an image of the scene based on at least external light originating from one or more external light sources. the device also includes a platform that supports the lidar transmitter, the lidar receiver, and the image sensor in a particular relative arrangement. the device also includes an actuator that rotates the platform about an axis to adjust the pointing direction of the device.
