Abstract

Object detection in point clouds is an important fundamental problem for many applications such as autonomous driving. The cutting-edge methods generally apply an end-to-end frame to detect the objects from the point clouds, while the traditional methods generally apply a multistep frame that clusters the points before detecting it. The end-to-end frame has been proven to be much better in many aspects, but the good detection effect is supported by a large amount of training data. As is well known, the difficulty of creating point clouds datasets is much greater than that of images datasets. Moreover, when the scenes undergo significant changes, the detection effect of end-to-end frame often decreases significantly. Therefore, on the basis of traditional detection algorithms, we propose a flexible and highly transferable two-stage algorithm AF3D where the point clouds is firstly clustered into clusters which were then detected by a classification network based on deep learning. We verify the algorithm on both the KITTI dataset and our own dataset, and compared it with Pointpillars. The conclusion indicates that AF3D has better robustness than Pointpillars in unfamiliar scenes.
