Abstract
This disclosure describes example methods and apparatus for automatic identification of performance degradation in a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) device and for providing appropriate precautions in the forms of operation interventions, warnings/alerts, and initiation of maintenance procedures. The performance degradation is derived from various performance indicators obtained by analyzing echo measurement samples detected by the LIDAR device.
