Sensor degradation is one of the major challenges for autonomous driving. During the rain, the interference from raindrops can negatively influence LiDAR measurements. For example, valid measurements could be reduced during the rain, and some measurements may become noisy. Unreliable measurements can lead to potential safety issues if autonomous driving systems are unaware of these changes. In thi...
