Abstract

A method of enhancing LiDAR data is provided. The method includes inputting LiDAR data from at least one LiDAR sensor; inputting data from at least one of: at least one static pressure sensor; and at least one total air temperature sensor; and extracting accurate air data parameters by processing one of: the LiDAR data and static pressure data from the static pressure sensor; the LiDAR data and true temperature data from the total air temperature sensor; or the LiDAR data, the static pressure data from the static pressure sensor, and the true temperature data from the total air temperature sensor. The method also includes generating augmented air data based on the extracted accurate air data parameters and outputting the augmented air data.
