Abstract: Embodiments are provided for a LIDAR system comprising a laser emission unit configured to generate at least one laser beam; a scanning unit configured to project the at least one laser beam toward a field of view of the LIDAR system; and at least one processor programmed to: determine at least one indicator of a current yaw orientation of the LIDAR system based on analysis of point cloud representations of at least one stationary object in an environment of a host vehicle and based on detected ego motion of the host vehicle; determine a difference between the current yaw orientation and a target yaw orientation for the LIDAR system; and adjust at least one scan range limit associated with the scanning unit to at least partially compensate for a difference between the current yaw orientation of the LIDAR system and the target yaw orientation for the LIDAR system.
