Environment Detection of 3D LiDAR by Using Neural Networks

Abstract

Autonomous vehicles and robot are more and more popular, and it is important to sense the environment for autonomous vehicles and robot. LiDAR is a very powerful device, it can capture the distance and contour of object precisely and quickly. And the scanning range is very wide. we use 3D LiDAR and neural network to detection the environment. We get the data packet from LiDAR, and decode the data packet to 3D point cloud coordinate. Then extract the drivable road by neural network and mark the obstacle.
