1. A system, comprising:
- a laser scanner that emits a laser beam and that acquires a plurality of pieces of point data of a plurality of points when the laser beam is transmitted through an atmosphere and is reflected from a surface of a vehicle;
an environment sensor unit that detects environment information based on absorption and scattering of laser light in the atmosphere; and
a signal processing controller that measures a reflectivity of a window of the vehicle and a distance to the vehicle based on the plurality of pieces of point data, that calculates an external loss coefficient based on the environment information and the distance to the window, that corrects the reflectivity of the window based on the external loss coefficient, and that calculates a transmittance of the window based on the corrected reflectivity of the window and on a predetermined internal loss coefficient of the widow.

Abstract
A vehicle window visible ray transmittance remote sensing system emits a plurality of laser beams to a driving vehicle, estimates transmittance of a window of the vehicle by acquiring a plurality of point data of a plurality of points from which a plurality of laser beams are reflected from a surface of the vehicle, and distinguishes a vehicle that deviates from a transmittance reference based on the estimated window transmittance.
