Abstract
According to a method for operating a sensor system, radiation is emitted during a first and a second measurement time period in order to generate point clouds, the points of which are described by a spatial position and an energy characteristic. A first sub-quantity of a first point cloud and a second sub-quantity of a second point cloud are identified with an energy characteristic which is greater than or equal to an energy threshold in each case. A third sub-quantity of the first point cloud and a fourth sub-quantity of the second point cloud are identified with positions lying within the spatial surroundings of the first sub-quantity and the second sub-quantity, respectively. The spatial extension of the fourth sub-quantity is compared with that of the third sub-quantity, and the points of the third and/or the fourth sub-quantity are marked as artifacts based on the result of the comparison.
