Environment perception plays a crucial role in autonomous driving technology. However, various factors such as adverse weather conditions and limitations in sensing equipment contribute to low perception accuracy and a restricted field of view. As a result, intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs) are currently only capable of achieving autonomous driving in specific scenarios. This paper conducts an analysis of the current studies on image or point cloud processing and cooperative perception, and summarizes three key aspects: data pre-processing methods, multi-sensor data fusion methods, and vehicle–infrastructure cooperative perception methods. Data pre-processing methods summarize the processing of point cloud data and image data in snow, rain and fog. Multi-sensor data fusion methods analyze the studies on image fusion, point cloud fusion and image-point cloud fusion. Because communication channel resources are limited, the vehicle–infrastructure cooperative perception methods discuss the fusion and sharing strategies for cooperative perception information to expand the range of perception for ICVs and achieve an optimal distribution of perception information. Finally, according to the analysis of the existing studies, the paper proposes future research directions for cooperative perception in adverse weather conditions.

Vehicle trajectory usually suffers from a large number of outliers and observation noises. This paper proposes a novel framework for reconstructing vehicle trajectories. The framework integrates the wavelet transform, Lagrange interpolation and Kalman filtering. The wavelet transform based on waveform decomposition in the time and frequency domain is used to identify the abnormal frequency of a trajectory. Lagrange interpolation is used to estimate the value of data points after outliers are removed. This framework improves computation efficiency in data segmentation. The Kalman filter uses normal and predicted data to obtain reasonable results, and the algorithm makes an optimal estimation that has a better denoising effect. The proposed framework is compared with a baseline framework on the trajectory data in the NGSIM dataset. The experimental results showed that the proposed framework can achieve a 45.76% lower root mean square error, 26.43% higher signal-to-noise ratio and 25.58% higher Pearson correlation coefficient.
