Towards A Robust And Efficient Deep Neural Network For The Lidar Point Cloud Perception, Zixiang Zhou

Graduate Thesis and Dissertation 2023-2024

In recent years, LiDAR has emerged as a crucial perception tool for robotics and autonomous vehicles. However, most LiDAR perception methods are adapted from 2D image-based deep learning methods, which are not well-suited to the unique geometric structure of LiDAR point cloud data. This domain gap poses challenges for the fast-growing LiDAR perception tasks. This dissertation aims to investigate suitable deep network structures tailored for LiDAR point cloud data, and therefore design a more efficient and robust LiDAR perception framework. Our approach to address this challenge is twofold. First, we recognize that LiDAR point cloud data is characterized by an …
