Abstract
A method for determining a roll angle (α) of an optoelectronic sensor of a motor vehicle, wherein the optoelectronic sensor comprises at least one transmitter device, at least one receiver unit and at least one evaluation unit is disclosed. The method involves emitting light beams into surroundings of the vehicle by the transmitter device, receiving light beams reflected at an object by the receiver unit, wherein the received light beams are represented by the evaluation unit as scan points in a sensor image of the surroundings of the motor vehicle, wherein the roll angle (α) is determined by the evaluation unit between at least one scan axis and at least one reference axis, wherein the scan axis is formed by at least one scan point of a ground structure and a reference point of the reference axis of the optoelectronic sensor.
