  • Publication number: 20240183981
    Abstract: An optoelectronic sensor for the detection and distance determination of objects in a monitored zone has a light transmitter for transmitting a transmitted pulse, a deflection unit for transmitting the transmitted pulses in different angular positions, a light receiver for generating a received signal, and a control and evaluation unit configured to recognize a received pulse that the transmitted pulse remitted or reflected in the monitored zone generates in the received signal, and to measure a distance between the transmission of the transmitted pulse and the reception of the received pulse with reference to a time of flight, as well as to recognize the presence of fog by evaluating the received signal. The control and evaluation unit is furthermore configured to recognize the presence of fog by checking a time portion of the received signal with a fog signature corresponding to the received pulse.
