LiDAR Data Enrichment by Fusing Spatial and Temporal Adjacent Frames

In autonomous driving scenarios, the point cloud generated by LiDAR is usually considered as an accurate but sparse representation. In order to enrich the LiDAR point cloud, this paper proposes a new technique that combines spatial adjacent frames and temporal adjacent frames. To eliminate the “ghos...

description In autonomous driving scenarios, the point cloud generated by LiDAR is usually considered as an accurate but sparse representation. In order to enrich the LiDAR point cloud, this paper proposes a new technique that combines spatial adjacent frames and temporal adjacent frames. To eliminate the “ghost” artifacts caused by moving objects, a moving point identification algorithm is introduced that employs the comparison between range images. Experiments are performed on the publicly available Semantic KITTI dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms most of the previous approaches. Compared with these previous works, the proposed method is the only method that can run in real-time for online usage.
