This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240402319 titled 'Methods and Systems for Detecting Sensor Occlusions




==Original Abstract Submitted==

one example method involves rotating a housing of a light detection and ranging (lidar) device about a first axis. the housing includes a first optical window and a second optical window. the method also involves transmitting a first plurality of light pulses through the first optical window to obtain a first scan of a field-of-view (fov) of the lidar device. the method also involves transmitting a second plurality of light pulses through the second optical window to obtain a second scan of the fov. the method also involves identifying, based on the first scan and the second scan, a portion of the fov that is at least partially occluded by an occlusion.
