• Title: DNN Filter for Bias Reduction in Distribution-to-Distribution Scan Matching
• Authors: Matthew McDermott and Jason Rife
• Abstract summary: We propose a method of down-sampling LIDAR point clouds to exclude voxels that violate the assumption of a static scene. Our approach uses a solution consistency filter, identifying and flagging voxels where D2D contributions disagree with local estimates from a PointNet-based registration network.

• Abstract: Distribution-to-distribution (D2D) point cloud registration techniques such as the Normal Distributions Transform (NDT) can align point clouds sampled from unstructured scenes and provide accurate bounds of their own solution error covariance-- an important feature for safety-of life navigation tasks. D2D methods rely on the assumption of a static scene and are therefore susceptible to bias from range-shadowing, self-occlusion, moving objects, and distortion artifacts as the recording device moves between frames. Deep Learning-based approaches can achieve higher accuracy in dynamic scenes by relaxing these constraints, however, DNNs produce uninterpratable solutions which can be problematic from a safety perspective. In this paper, we propose a method of down-sampling LIDAR point clouds to exclude voxels that violate the assumption of a static scene and introduce error to the D2D scan matching process. Our approach uses a solution consistency filter, identifying and flagging voxels where D2D contributions disagree with local estimates from a PointNet-based registration network.

  Left atrial (LA) segmentation is a crucial technique for irregular heartbeat (i.e., atrial fibrillation) diagnosis.

We propose a novel Dynamic Position transformation and Boundary refinement Network (DPBNet) to tackle these issues.

  We study the problem of semi-supervised 3D object detection, which is of great importance considering the high annotation cost for cluttered 3D indoor scenes.

We propose the first semisupervised 3D detection algorithm that works in the singlestage manner and allows spatially dense training signals.
