Abstract

A method for operating a sensor system may include predefining a spatial region to be detected in the surroundings of a light emission device, scanning the predefined spatial region by light beams emitted by the light emission device in different spatial directions, driving an emitter with a control unit based on a random component, emitting light beams from the emitter in the direction of a scanning unit at random points in time, and deflecting the light beams, using the scanning unit, in the different spatial directions along which the light beams leave the light emission device. The sensor system may include the control unit and the light emission device where the light emission device includes the emitter and the scanning unit.
