Cover Story: Although LiDAR sensors are critical for autonomous driving, they are impacted by weather events. To increase the safety and availability of self-driving vehicles, analysis of the phenomena at stake is necessary. This paper presents experiments performed in a climatic chamber with LiDARs of different technologies that are compared in various artificial conditions. A specific target with calibrated reflectance is used to make the first quantitative analysis. We observe sensor-dependent results, and unexpected behaviors are seen in artificial rain conditions with valuable multi-echo information being obtained. View this paper.
