Abstract
According to a method for determining a pitch angle position of an active optical sensor system (), which is mounted on a motor vehicle (), a scatter plot () is generated by means of the sensor system (). The scatter plot () includes a first and a second subset () of scan points of the roadway (). A first pair (A, B) of scan points is identified by means of a computing unit, wherein a point (A) is part of the first subset (), a further point (B) is part of the second subset (), and a projection (') of a first connection vector () of the first pair (A, B) is in a transmission plane parallel to a longitudinal axis of the sensor system (). A first angle (δ) which encloses the first connection vector () with the longitudinal axis () of the sensor system () is determined by means of the computing unit ().
