1. A device comprising:
a laser emitter to emit a first laser pulse and a second laser pulse;
a sensor to sense a first return pulse associated with the first laser pulse reflected from a surface, and a second return pulse associated with the second laser pulse; and
one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
determining a first surface area of the surface based, at least in part, on the first return pulse;
determining a second surface area of the surface based, at least in part, on the second return pulse;
determining a first orientation of the surface based, at least in part, on a comparison between a first width of the first laser pulse and a second width of the first return pulse; and
determining a surface discontinuity between the first surface area and the second surface area based, at least in part, on a comparison between the first orientation and a second orientation of the second surface area.
