Streaming Object Detection for 3-D Point Clouds

Understand

Autonomous vehicles operate in a dynamic environment, where the speed with which a vehicle can perceive and react impacts the safety and efficacy of the system.

• LiDAR provides a prominent sensory modality that informs many existing perceptual systems including object detection, segmentation, motion estimation, and action recognition.
• The latency for perceptual systems based on point cloud data can be dominated by the amount of time for a complete rotational scan (e.g.
• 100 ms).
