Abstract: This paper proposes a novel hybrid segmentation method for 3D Light Detection and Ranging (Lidar) data. The presented approach gains robustness against the under-segmentation issue, i.e., assigning several objects to one segment, by jointly using spatial and temporal information to discriminate nearby objects in the data. When an autonomous vehicle has a complex dynamic environment, such as pedestrians walking close to their nearby objects, determining if a segment consists of one or multiple objects can be difficult with spatial features alone. The temporal cues allow us to resolve such ambiguities. In order to get temporal information, a motion field of the environment is estimated for subsequent 3D Lidar scans based on an occupancy grid representation. Then we propose a hybrid approach using the mean-shift method and the distance dependent Chinese Restaurant Process (ddCRP). After the segmentation blobs are spatially extracted from the scene, the mean-shift seeks the number of pos sible objects in the state space of each blob. If the mean-shift algorithm determines an under-segmented blob, the ddCRP performs the final partition in this blob. Otherwise, the queried blob remains the same and it is assigned as a segment. The computational time of the hybrid method is below the scanning period of the Lidar sensor. This enables the system to run in real time. (More)
