• Abstract summary: We present MotionBEV, a fast and accurate framework for LiDAR moving object segmentation. Our approach converts 3D LiDAR scans into a 2D polar BEV representation to improve computational efficiency. We employ a dual-branch network bridged by the Appearance-Motion Co-attention Module (AMCM) to adaptively fuse the LiDAR-temporal information from appearance and motion features.

• Abstract: Identifying moving objects is an essential capability for autonomous systems, as it provides critical information for pose estimation, navigation, collision avoidance, and static map construction. In this paper, we present MotionBEV, a fast and accurate framework for LiDAR moving object segmentation, which segments moving objects with appearance and motion features in the bird's eye view (BEV) domain. Our approach converts 3D LiDAR scans into a 2D polar BEV representation to improve computational efficiency. Specifically, we learn appearance features with a simplified PointNet and compute motion features through the height differences of consecutive frames of point clouds projected onto vertical columns in the polar BEV coordinate system. We employ a dual-branch network bridged by the Appearance-Motion Co-attention Module (AMCM) to adaptively fuse the spatio-temporal information from appearance and motion features. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the SemanticKITTI-MOS benchmark. Furthermore, to demonstrate the practical effectiveness of our method, we provide a LiDAR-MOS dataset recorded by a solid-state LiDAR, which features non-repetitive scanning patterns and a small field of view.
