摘要:

自动驾驶车辆和机器人系统依赖于对其周围环境的准确感知。场景理解是感知模块的重要组成部分。在所有可用的传感器中,LiDAR是自动驾驶系统的基本传感方式之一,因为它们具有高分辨率的传感器读数的主动传感特性。为了充分利用LiDAR传感器进行场景理解,需要准确快速的语义分割方法。在本文中,我们提出了Lite-HDSeg,一种新的实时卷积神经网络的完整$3$ D激光雷达点云的语义分割。Lite-HDSeg在SemanticKitti基准测试中可以实现最佳的精度与计算复杂性的权衡,并且是基于一种新的编码器-解码器架构设计的,该架构以轻量级谐波密集卷积为核心。此外,我们引入ICM,一个改进的全球上下文模块,以捕捉多尺度的上下文特征,和MCSPN,一个多类空间传播网络,以进一步细化语义边界。实验结果表明,该方法优于最先进的语义分割方法,可以实时运行,因此适用于机器人和自动驾驶应用。

英文摘要:

Autonomous driving vehicles and robotic systems rely on accurate perception of their surroundings. Scene understanding is one of the crucial components of perception modules. Among all available sensors, LiDARs are one of the essential sensing modalities of autonomous driving systems due to their active sensing nature with high resolution of sensor readings. Accurate and fast semantic segmentation methods are needed to fully utilize LiDAR sensors for scene understanding. In this paper, we present Lite-HDSeg, a novel real-time convolutional neural network for semantic segmentation of full $3$D LiDAR point clouds. Lite-HDSeg can achieve the best accuracy vs. computational complexity trade-off in SemanticKitti benchmark and is designed on the basis of a new encoder-decoder architecture with light-weight harmonic dense convolutions as its core. Moreover, we introduce ICM, an improved global contextual module to capture multi-scale contextual features, and MCSPN, a multi-class Spatial Propagation Network to further refine the semantic boundaries. Our experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art semantic segmentation approaches which can run real-time, thus is suitable for robotic and autonomous driving applications.
