Abstract
A method for monitoring an angular position of a LiDAR system having at least one rotatable mirror. The method includes: a) emitting laser light by means of the LiDAR system; b) receiving laser light by means of the LiDAR system; c) determining the angular position of the LiDAR system on the basis of the received laser light; d) monitoring the angular position by comparing a predefined angular position with the angular position determined in step c). A corresponding LiDAR system, a computer program, and a machine-readable storage medium are also described.

A method for monitoring an angular position of a LiDAR system having at least one rotatable mirror, the method comprising the following steps:
- a) emitting laser light using the LiDAR system;
- b) receiving laser light using the LiDAR system;
- c) determining the angular position of the LiDAR system based on the received laser light;
- and
- d) monitoring the angular position by comparing a predefined angular position with the angular position determined in step c).
A LiDAR system, comprising:
- at least one rotatable mirror;
- a laser configured to emit laser light;
- a receiver configured to receive laser light;
- and
- an electronic control unit configured to monitor an angular position of the LiDAR system, the electronic control unit configured to:
- a) emit laser light using the LiDAR system;
- b) receive laser light using the LiDAR system;
- c) determine the angular position of the LiDAR system based on the received laser light;
- and
- d) monitor the angular position by comparing a predefined angular position with the angular position determined in step c).
A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium on which is stored a computer program for monitoring an angular position of a LiDAR system having at least one rotatable mirror, the computer program, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to perform the following steps:
- a) emitting laser light using the LiDAR system;
- b) receiving laser light using the LiDAR system;
- c) determining the angular position of the LiDAR system based on the received laser light;
- and
- d) monitoring the angular position by comparing a predefined angular position with the angular position determined in step c).
