LiDAR with a silicon photomultiplier for applications in adverse weather

As Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) integration becomes more widespread in the field of remote sensing for autonomous navigation, the impact of degraded visual environments will quickly need to be addressed. The particles responsible for the degradation not only reduce the reflected signal from t...
