Artificial Fog Modelling for Synthetic Lidar Data
Abstract
LiDAR sensors are now a main component
in perception systems of vehicles. With the
advancements in technology of ADAS and
autonomous vehicle systems that rely on LiDAR
sensors, it is necessary to thoroughly test and validate
these systems before deployment into the real world.
Among the method is via the use simulation that
allows the system to traverse millions, if not billions,
of kilometres with thorough testing and validation
including scenarios that cover a larger scope of
situations and cases. However, despite the accuracy
of LiDAR for mapping the environment and estimating
precise distances, it is known to be affected by
adverse weather conditions, thus reducing the
operational design domain of vehicles equipped with
this type of sensor. This paper aims to introduce a
methodology of acquiring real world data, and through
data analysing and processing be able to create and
improve the current LiDAR models in simulation by
implementing the effects of perturbation, whether it be
hardware or weather caused.
