Autonomous driving in rainy conditions remains a big challenge. One of the issues is sensor degradation. LiDAR is commonly used in autonomous driving systems to perceive and understand surrounding environments. However, LiDAR performance can be degraded by rain, thereby influencing other system performance (e.g., perception or localization). Therefore, knowing how much degradation exists in curren...
