Abstract
Methods disclosed herein provide rainy environmental information by, on condition that a detection area is determined as an area of within a specific distance from a LiDAR sensor mounted on an autonomous vehicle, and laser transmission pulses are emitted through a 1-st layer to an N-th Layer of the LiDAR sensor, a computing device acquires all the point data from laser reflected pulses, within the detection area. Additionally, the computing device accumulates specific point data, among all the point data, which satisfy a specific criterion related to a rainy environment over a period of time, and detects the rainy environment by referring to the accumulated specific point data.
