Benchmarking Automotive LiDAR Performance in Arctic Conditions
This work shows and analyzes the LiDAR performance in real-world heavy winter conditions captured in Northern Europe. We review how low temperatures, saltedroads and turbulent snow in front of a passenger car influence LiDAR systems developed for automated driving functions. Two test cars were drive...
