Modeling the use of LiDAR through adverse weather

Due to the outstanding characteristics of LiDAR imaging systems, they seem essential for the consolidation of novel applications related to computer vision, in fields such as autonomous vehicles, outdoor recognition, and surveillance. However, the final technology implementation still has some uncer...
