Abstract
A method and to a device for activating a SPAD-based LIDAR sensor and a surroundings detection system. The method includes: emitting a predefined transmission pulse pattern into surroundings of the LIDAR sensor, the transmission pulse pattern being made up of a plurality of consecutive light pulses; detecting photons arriving in the LIDAR sensor within a predefined detection time period after the emission of a respective light pulse; generating histograms which represent a frequency of detected photons with respect to respective reception points in time, each histogram referring to a respective detection time period, and to a respective macropixel; ascertaining a histogram evaluation window, based on which those histograms corresponding to the transmission pulse pattern are selected from a chronological sequence of histograms which, during an allocation to a total histogram, meet predefined criteria for the total histogram; and providing the total histogram for generating a 3D point cloud.
