提出360度激光雷达感知框架,提升复杂城市交通中多类目标检测稳定性。
Eyes All Around: Design and Analysis of 360-Degree LiDAR Perception Using Equivariant Feature Learning in Unstructured Traffic

- 分扇区全景处理结合旋转等变稀疏卷积,增强全向感知能力
- 在印度城市数据集上实现车辆检测精度最高达92.02/90.51
- 适用于复杂无序交通场景,适合自动驾驶系统研发人员参考
密集且无结构的城市交通环境对自动驾驶的感知能力仍是重大挑战,主要源于道路使用者类型多样、频繁遮挡、运动模式不规则以及缺乏标准化道路布局。尽管近期基于激光雷达的3D目标检测器在结构化驾驶场景中表现良好,但多数模型仅针对有限视场设计与评估,其在全向360度感知下的行为尚不明确。本文研究了面向自动驾驶的360度激光雷达感知流程,重点关注全景感知、方位扇区级空间处理及复杂城市场景中的变换等变特征提取。提出一种实用的360度感知框架,结合扇区级全景处理与旋转等变稀疏卷积,并在自建的Ouster OS0激光雷达数据集上进行评估,该数据集覆盖多样化的印度城市交通条件。结果表明,各类目标检测整体稳定,其中汽车检测性能最佳,为92.02/90.51;公交车为80.53/76.34;卡车为78.59/74.16;而行人(67.45/61.02)、自行车(73.21/69.54)和摩托车(71.20/68.13)得分较低,反映出在密集城市环境中对小型且运动多变的交通参与者检测难度更高。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Perception in dense, unstructured urban traffic remains a major challenge for autonomous driving because of the wide variety of road users, frequent occlusions, irregular motion patterns, and the lack of standardized road layouts. Although recent LiDAR based 3D object detectors have shown strong performance in structured driving scenarios, most are developed and evaluated for limited field of view settings, and their behavior under full surround 360-degree sensing is still not well understood. This paper studies a 360-degree LiDAR perception pipeline for autonomous driving, with particular attention to panoramic sensing, azimuthal sector wise spatial processing, and transformation equivariant feature extraction in complex urban scenes. The paper presents a practical 360-degree perception framework that combines sector wise panoramic processing with rotation equivariant sparse convolutions and evaluates its behavior on a custom Ouster OS0 LiDAR dataset collected across diverse Indian urban traffic conditions. The results show generally stable detection across several object classes, with the strongest performance for cars at 92.02/90.51, buses at 80.53/76.34, and trucks at 78.59/74.16, while lower scores for pedestrians at 67.45/61.02, cyclists at 73.21/69.54, and motorcyclists at 71.20/68.13 reflect the greater difficulty of detecting smaller and more variable road users in dense urban scenes.
