Abstract
A method for the supplementary detection of objects by a LIDAR system. The LIDAR system is configured to scan a solid angle range to carry out a primary distance determination method for surroundings objects. An emitter unit emits at least one laser beam in a solid angle strip of the solid angle range, laser light reflected from surroundings objects being received by a detector unit to ascertain the distance and the position of surroundings objects with the aid of the primary distance determination method. The method includes: scanning the entire solid angle range and subsequently generating a two-dimensional intensity distribution of the detected signal light. This is followed by generating a corrected two-dimensional intensity distribution by removing blooming signals and analyzing the corrected two-dimensional intensity distribution for the supplementary detection of surroundings objects in addition to the primary distance determination method.
