• Abstract summary: We address the problem of traversability assessment using point clouds. We propose a pillar feature extraction module that utilizes PointNet to capture features from point clouds organized in vertical volume. We then propose a newtemporal attention module to fuse multi-frame information, which can properly handle the varying density problem of LIDAR point clouds.

• Abstract: Producing traversability maps and understanding the surroundings are crucial prerequisites for autonomous navigation. In this paper, we address the problem of traversability assessment using point clouds. We propose a novel pillar feature extraction module that utilizes PointNet to capture features from point clouds organized in vertical volume and a 2D encoder-decoder structure to conduct traversability classification instead of the widely used 3D convolutions. This results in less computational cost while even better performance is achieved at the same time. We then propose a new spatio-temporal attention module to fuse multi-frame information, which can properly handle the varying density problem of LIDAR point clouds, and this makes our module able to assess distant areas more accurately. Comprehensive experimental results on augmented Semantic KITTI and RELLIS-3D datasets show that our method is able to achieve superior performance over existing approaches both quantitatively and quantitatively.

  This paper introduces CurbNet, a novel framework for curb detection utilizing point cloud segmentation. We have developed the 3D-Curb dataset based on Semantic KITTI, currently the largest and most diverse collection of curb point clouds. To tackle the challenges posed by the uneven distribution of curb features on the xy-plane and their dependence on high-frequency features along the z-axis, we introduce the Multi-Scale and Channel Attention (MSCA) module.

  NuTonomy's nuScenes dataset greatly extends commonly used datasets such as KITTI. The localization precision of this model is affected by the loss of spatial information in the downscaled feature maps. We propose to enhance the performance of the CBGS model by designing an auxiliary network, that makes full use of the structure information of the 3D point cloud.

• Deep Point Cloud Reconstruction [74.694733918351]
  Point cloud obtained from 3D scanning is often sparse, noisy, and irregular. To cope with these issues, recent studies have been separately conducted to densify, denoise, and complete inaccurate point cloud. We propose a deep point cloud reconstruction network consisting of two stages: 1) a 3D sparse stacked-hourglass network as for the initial densification and denoising, 2) a refinement via transformers converting the discrete voxels into 3D points.
