• Abstract: Efforts to connect LiDAR data with text, such as LidarCLIP, have primarily focused on embedding 3D point clouds into CLIP text-image space. However, these approaches rely on 3D point clouds, which present challenges in encoding efficiency and neural network processing. With the advent of advanced LiDAR sensors like Ouster OS1, which, in addition to 3D point clouds, produce fixed resolution depth, signal, and ambient panoramic 2D images, new opportunities emerge for LiDAR based tasks. In this work, we propose an alternative approach to connect LiDAR data with text by leveraging 2D imagery generated by the OS1 sensor instead of 3D point clouds. Using the Florence 2 large model in a zero-shot setting, we perform image captioning and object detection. Our experiments demonstrate that Florence 2 generates more informative captions and achieves superior performance in object detection tasks compared to existing methods like CLIP. By combining advanced LiDAR sensor data with a large pre-trained model, our approach provides a robust and accurate solution for challenging detection scenarios, including real-time applications requiring high accuracy and robustness.

  We propose the LiDAR-Camera Augmentation Network (LCANet), a novel framework that reconstructs LiDAR point cloud data by fusing 2D image features. LCANet fuses data from LiDAR sensors by projecting image features into the 3D space, integrating semantic information into the point cloud data. This fusion effectively compensates for LiDAR's weakness in detecting objects at long distances, which are often represented by sparse points.

• Learning to Drop Points for LiDAR Scan Synthesis [5.132259673802809]
  Generative modeling of 3D scenes is a crucial topic for aiding mobile robots to improve unreliable observations. Most existing studies on point clouds have focused on small and uniform-density data. 3D LiDAR point clouds widely used in mobile robots are non-trivial to be handled because of the large number of points and varying-density. This paper proposes a novel framework based on generative adversarial networks to synthesize realistic LiDAR data as an improved 2D representation.

We introduce a new framework based on differentiable Change of Representation (CoR) modules that allow the entire PL pipeline to be trained end-to-end.
