Adaptive Task-Driven Lidar Point Cloud Compression For Autonomous Driving, Su Hyun Kim
Adaptive Task-Driven Lidar Point Cloud Compression For Autonomous Driving, Su Hyun Kim
Master's Theses
Autonomous-driving systems generate large LiDAR point clouds, but compression can damage the sparse object-support structure needed by 3D detectors even when reconstructions appear visually plausible. This thesis asks whether adaptive LiDAR compression can preserve downstream detection better than uniform compression by allocating more fidelity to detector-relevant regions. The main study builds a mask-aware range-image codec with an encoder-decoder bottleneck, an importance head, and an adaptive quantization variant. It compares this adaptive variant package with a confirmed masked uniform baseline under one fixed RangeDet evaluation surface and one fixed KITTI validation subset. Two supporting studies bound the result: a projection-reconstruction PointPillars …
