Abstract

A computer system including processing circuitry configured to obtain light data from a light-based scanning device; obtain trajectory data of an upcoming trajectory of a vehicle; generate a frame of reference for the light-based scanning device, the frame of reference indicating positional relationships of a plurality of light points based on the light data and a plurality of trajectory points based on the trajectory data; for one or more given trajectory points, identify a non-overlapping region in the frame of reference where no light points are collocated at the one or more given trajectory points; and determine the lens coverage condition based on a position of the vehicle in relation to the identified non-overlapping region.
