Light Detection And Rangings (LiDARs) have been widely adopted to modern self-driving vehicles, providing 3D information of the scene and surrounding objects. However, adverser weather conditions still pose significant challenges to LiDARs since point clouds captured during snowfall can easily be corrupted. The resulting noisy point clouds degrade downstream tasks such as mapping. Existing works i...
