Perception and Sensing for Autonomous Vehicles Under Adverse Weather Conditions: A Survey

Understand

Automated Driving Systems (ADS) open up a new domain for the automotive industry and offer new possibilities for future transportation with higher efficiency and comfortable experiences.

• However, autonomous driving under adverse weather conditions has been the problem that keeps autonomous vehicles (AVs) from going to level 4 or higher autonomy for a long time.
• This paper assesses the influences and challenges that weather brings to ADS sensors in an analytic and statistical way, and surveys the solutions against inclement weather conditions.
• State-of-the-art techniques on perception enhancement with regard to each kind of weather are thoroughly reported.
