激光雷达点云对自动驾驶至关重要,但动态物体运动造成的畸变会降低数据质量。以往工作主要关注自车运动引起的畸变,而忽略了其他运动物体的影响,导致物体形状与位置出现误差。这一问题在高速公路及多激光雷达配置(常见于重型车辆)中尤为严重。为此,我们提出HiMo,一个利用场景流估计实现非自车运动补偿的流程,修正点云中动态物体的表示。开发过程中发现,现有自监督场景流估计算法在高速畸变下常产生退化或不一致结果。因此我们进一步提出SeFlow++,一种实时场景流估计算法,在场景流和运动补偿任务上均达到当前最优性能。由于文献中缺乏成熟运动畸变评估指标,我们引入两点评估标准:点级补偿精度与物体形状相似性。我们在Argoverse 2、ZOD及一个新采集的真实世界数据集(涵盖高速驾驶与多激光雷达重卡)上进行了大量实验。结果表明,HiMo显著提升了动态物体在点云中的几何一致性和视觉保真度,有利于语义分割与3D检测等下游任务。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
LiDAR point cloud is essential for autonomous vehicles, but motion distortions from dynamic objects degrade the data quality. While previous work has considered distortions caused by ego motion, distortions caused by other moving objects remain largely overlooked, leading to errors in object shape and position. This distortion is particularly pronounced in high-speed environments such as highways and in multi-LiDAR configurations, a common setup for heavy vehicles. To address this challenge, we introduce HiMo, a pipeline that repurposes scene flow estimation for non-ego motion compensation, correcting the representation of dynamic objects in point clouds. During the development of HiMo, we observed that existing self-supervised scene flow estimators often produce degenerate or inconsistent estimates under high-speed distortion. We further propose SeFlow++, a real-time scene flow estimator that achieves state-of-the-art performance on both scene flow and motion compensation. Since well-established motion distortion metrics are absent in the literature, we introduce two evaluation metrics: compensation accuracy at a point level and shape similarity of objects. We validate HiMo through extensive experiments on Argoverse 2, ZOD, and a newly collected real-world dataset featuring highway driving and multi-LiDAR-equipped heavy vehicles. Our findings show that HiMo improves the geometric consistency and visual fidelity of dynamic objects in LiDAR point clouds, benefiting downstream tasks such as semantic segmentation and 3D detection.
