Abstract

A lidar system is described for a vehicle for scanning a surrounding area of the vehicle using laser beams, including a transmitting device having a laser beam source which is designed to emit laser beams into the surrounding area of the vehicle, a receiving device having at least one detector for detecting the laser beams reflected in the surrounding area and having at least one first filter that is connectible in front of the detector, whereinthe at least one first filter is designed as an intensity filter for specifically absorbing background radiation. A method for operating a lidar system and a computer program are also described.
