DSOR: A Scalable Statistical Filter for Removing Falling Snow from LiDAR Point Clouds in Severe Winter Weather
For autonomous vehicles to viably replace human drivers they must contend with inclement weather. Falling rain and snow introduce noise in LiDAR returns resulting in both false positive and false negative object detections. In this article we introduce the Winter Adverse Driving dataSet (WADS) collected in the snow belt region of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. WADS is the first multi-modal dataset featuring dense point-wise labeled sequential LiDAR scans collected in severe winter weather; weather that would cause an experienced driver to alter their driving behavior. We have labelled and will make available over 7 GB or 3.6 billion labelled LiDAR points out of over 26 TB of total LiDAR and camera data collected. We also present the Dynamic Statistical Outlier Removal (DSOR) filter, a statistical PCL-based filter capable or removing snow with a higher recall than the state of the art snow de-noising filter while being 28\% faster. Further, the DSOR filter is shown to have a lower time complexity compared to the state of the art resulting in an improved scalability. Our labeled dataset and DSOR filter will be made available at https://bitbucket.org/autonomymtu/dsor_filter

The Falling Factorial Basis and Its Statistical Applications
We study a novel spline-like basis, which we name the "falling factorial basis", bearing many similarities to the classic truncated power basis. The advantage of the falling factorial basis is that it enables rapid, line…
