Abstract
A LIDAR system can automatically determine, based on analysis of data collected from the sensor channels during operation, whether fog is present. If fog is present, the LIDAR system can operate in a fog mode, and if fog is not present, the LIDAR system can operate in a 'clear-air' mode. The two modes can differ from each other with respect to the emitter signals and/or the signal processing applied to the sensor data.
