"Velocity estimation using doppler per point lidar systems" was invented by Bruno Hexsel (Mountain View, Calif.) and Mina Rezk (Haymarket, Va.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method of operating a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) system is provided that includes performing a scene measurement using a LiDAR sensor capable of measuring Doppler per point. The method also includes estimating a velocity of the LiDAR sensor with respect to static points within the scene based on the scene measurement. The method may also include compensating for the velocity of t...
