Abstract
A LIDAR system. The LIDAR system includes a light transmitting unit and a light receiving unit. A beam path is formed between the light transmitting unit and the light receiving unit of the LIDAR system, in order to optically scan surroundings of the LIDAR system during the operation of the LIDAR system. The LIDAR system is configured to recognize a contamination of the beam path, based on LIDAR measured data, which have been obtained during the optical scanning of the surroundings. A method for recognizing a contamination of a beam path of a LIDAR system is described, including recognizing the contamination by the LIDAR system based on LIDAR measured data, which have been obtained during an optical scanning of surroundings of the LIDAR system.
