Abstract
A method for implementing a LIDAR device in a motor vehicle, including the following steps: determining the number of bright nearby points of the point cloud, a bright nearby point being defined as a point that meets the following two conditions: the distance of separation corresponding to the point is less than a first predetermined distance threshold; and the light intensity corresponding to the point is higher than a first predetermined light intensity threshold; when the number of bright nearby points is higher than a predetermined crosstalk filtering activation threshold, identifying each crosstalk-related point that meets the following two conditions: the distance of separation corresponding to the point is less than a second predetermined distance threshold; and the light intensity corresponding to the point is lower than a second predetermined brightness threshold.
