• Abstract summary: We propose an efficient monocular camera localization method in prior LiDAR maps using direct 2D-3D line correspondences. With the pose prediction from VIO, we can efficiently obtain coarse 2D-3D line correspondences. The proposed method can efficiently estimate camera poses without accumulated drifts or pose jumps in structured environments.

• Abstract: Light-weight camera localization in existing maps is essential for vision-based navigation. Currently, visual and visual-inertial odometry (VO\&VIO) techniques are well-developed for state estimation but with inevitable accumulated drifts and pose jumps upon loop closure. To overcome these problems, we propose an efficient monocular camera localization method in prior LiDAR maps using direct 2D-3D line correspondences. To handle the appearance differences and modality gaps between LiDAR point clouds and images, geometric 3D lines are extracted offline from LiDAR maps while robust 2D lines are extracted online from video sequences. With the pose prediction from VIO, we can efficiently obtain coarse 2D-3D line correspondences. Then the camera poses and 2D-3D correspondences are iteratively optimized by minimizing the projection error of correspondences and rejecting outliers. Experimental results on the EurocMav dataset and our collected dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can efficiently estimate camera poses without accumulated drifts or pose jumps in structured environments.

  3D human pose estimation (HPE) in autonomous vehicles (AV) differs from other use cases in many factors. Data collected for other use cases (such as virtual reality, gaming, and animation) may not be usable for AV applications. We propose one of the first approaches to alleviate this problem in the AV setting.

  State-of-the-art methods for driving-scene LiDAR-based perception often project the point clouds to 2D space and then process them via 2D convolution. A natural remedy is to utilize the 3D voxelization and 3D convolution network. We propose a new framework for the outdoor LiDAR segmentation, where cylindrical partition and asymmetrical 3D convolution networks are designed to explore the 3D geometric pattern.

  State-of-the-art methods for large-scale driving-scene LiDAR semantic segmentation often project and process the point clouds in the 2D space. A straightforward solution to tackle the issue of 3D-to-2D projection is to keep the 3D representation and process the points in the 3D space. We develop a 3D cylinder partition and a 3D cylinder convolution based framework, termed as Cylinder3D, which exploits the 3D topology relations and structures of driving-scene point clouds.
