Abstract
A 3D scene is acquired using a LIDAR system including a transmitter, a receiver, and a pivotable mirror arrangement between the transmitter and the 3D scene. The transmitter is operated as a laser light source and the receiver is configured as a matrix sensor with an irradiation optical system and light sensors distributed over a surface. Light points reflected in a spatially resolved manner at pixels of a point cloud of the 3D scene are generated by light pulses of the transmitter and by pivoting the mirror arrangement. An input signal is acquired from each of the light points by the light sensors and a distance of the light points to the matrix sensor is determined based on a light propagation time measurement. A defocused input signal of a light point including a plurality of light sensors is displayed by the irradiation optical system and the input signals are compared.
