A method, apparatus, and system for filtering a point cloud generated by a LIDAR device in an autonomous vehicle is disclosed. A point cloud comprising a plurality of points is generated based on outputs of the LIDAR device. The point cloud is filtered to remove a first set of points in the plurality of points that correspond to noise based on one or more of: point intensity measurements, distances between points, or a combination thereof. Perception data is generated based on the filtered point cloud. Operations of the autonomous vehicle are controlled based on the perception data.
