Abstract:
A return signal associated with a frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) optical beam is received. A correction for Doppler scanning artifacts in the return signal is made. A determination as to whether the return signal is caused by an obstruction on or proximate to a LIDAR window is made. A field of view (FOV) reflectivity map is generated based on the determination. The FOV reflectivity map is analyzed by identifying an obstructed FOV of the LIDAR system and determining a reflected energy from the obstructed FOV.
