2D&3DHNet for 3D Object Classification in LiDAR Point Cloud
Abstract
Accurate semantic analysis of LiDAR point clouds enables the interaction between intelligent vehicles and the real environment. This paper proposes a hybrid 2D and 3D Hough Net by combining 3D global Hough features and 2D local Hough features with a classification deep learning network. Firstly, the 3D object point clouds are mapped into the 3D Hough space to extract the global Hough features. The generated global Hough features are input into the 3D convolutional neural network for training global features. Furthermore, a multi-scale critical point sampling method is designed to extract critical points in the 2D views projected from the point clouds to reduce the computation of redundant points. To extract local features, a grid-based dynamic nearest neighbors algorithm is designed by searching the neighbors of the critical points. Finally, the two networks are connected to the full connection layer, which is input into fully connected layers for object classification.
