SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ENHANCING OUTPUTS OF A LIDAR

Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to enhancing an output of a LiDAR sensor. In one embodiment, a method includes acquiring, using the LiDAR sensor, a point cloud and an ambient image. The method includes processing the point cloud and the ambient image to generate enhanced data according to an enhancer pipeline that includes a set of processing routines. The method includes providing the enhanced data to at least one module to facilitate generating determinations about a surrounding environment of the LiDAR sensor from the enhanced data.
