Zusammenfassung:A Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) sensor is provided. The LIDAR sensor includes an optical transmitter configured to, when operated in a first operation mode, illuminate first sub-regions of a field of view for one-dimensionally scanning the environment in the field of view. When operated in a second operation mode, the optical transmitter is configured to illuminate second sub-regions of the field of view for scanning the environment in a portion of the field of view. A second illumination intensity used for illuminating the second sub-regions is higher than a first illumination intensity used for illuminating the first sub-regions. The LIDAR sensor further includes an optical receiver configured to receive reflections from the first sub-regions and the second sub-regions.
