For LiDAR rangefinders, which risk increases when atmospheric particulates depolarize returning beams?

💡 Explanation

Signal depolarization reduces the ability to filter signal returns, because polarization maintains signal integrity; therefore, false positives increase rather than other noise factors which are mitigated with thresholding alone.
