Can Automated Vehicles "See" in Minnesota? Ambient Particle Effects on LiDAR Systems
Principal Investigator
- Will Northrop, Associate Professor, Mechanical Engineering
Summary
This project will use a combination of laboratory experimentation and road demonstrations to better understand the reduction of LiDAR signal and object detection capability under adverse weather conditions found in Minnesota. It will also lead to concepts to improve LiDAR systems to adapt to such conditions through better signal processing image recognition software.Project Details
