description Three-dimensional object detection technology is an essential component of autonomous driving systems. Existing 3D object detection techniques heavily rely on expensive lidar sensors, leading to increased costs. Recently, the emergence of Pseudo-Lidar point cloud data has addressed this cost issue. However, the current methods for generating Pseudo-Lidar point clouds are relatively crude, resulting in suboptimal detection performance. This paper proposes an improved method to generate more accurate Pseudo-Lidar point clouds. The method first enhances the stereo-matching network to improve the accuracy of Pseudo-Lidar point cloud representation. Secondly, it fuses 16-Line real lidar point cloud data to obtain more precise Real Pseudo-Lidar point cloud data. Our method achieves impressive results in the popular KITTI benchmark. Our algorithm achieves an object detection accuracy of 85.5% within a range of 30 m. Additionally, the detection accuracies for pedestrians and cyclists reach 68.6% and 61.6%, respectively.
