Computer Vision with 3D Point Cloud Data: Methods, Datasets and Challenges

摘要

The scientific discipline of Computer Vision (CV) is a fast developing branch of Machine Learning (ML). It addresses various tasks important for robotics, medicine, autonomous driving, surveillance, security or scene understanding. The development of sensor technologies enabled wide usage of 3D sensors, and therefore, it increased the interest of the CV research community in creating methods for 3D sensor data. This paper outlines seven CV tasks with 3D point cloud data, state-of-the-art techniques, and datasets. Additionally, we identify key challenges.
