This challenge is addressed in this work for lidar sensors. The lidar equation was previously employed in this context to derive estimates of a lidar’s maximum range in different weather conditions. ...In this work, we present a stochastic simulation framework based on a probabilistic extension of the lidar equation, to quantify the effect of adverse rainfall conditions on a lidar’s raw detection performance. ...Combining the effect of other noise sources with the presented framework in a ray tracer is an opportunity for realistic physical lidar simulations and would allow to virtually estimate the performance of a lidar’s object detection and tracking performance.

In this contribution, we further explore and validate the method by utilizing real data, including ground truth data based on high-resolution LIDAR and human labeling. An area with overlapping field of view from five sensors is selected for the analysis.
