    Abstract: A method of LIDAR includes configuring a laser array such that each laser generates an optical beam having a FOV and intensity that illuminates a ROI and configuring a detector array such that each detector receives light from a detector FOV in the ROI. The laser array is energized and light is received at the detector array from the illuminated ROI. The received light is processed for select ones of the detectors with standard parameters to determine TOF data for the select ones of detectors to generate an image of an object in the ROI. The TOF data for the select detectors is analyzed to determine if a blooming criterion is met and, if so, the laser is re-energized. Light is then received at the detector array from the illuminated ROI and processed with parameters to determine TOF and intensity data that compensate for the blooming.
