The SENSR application also performs object detection on the incoming LiDAR streams during processing. The goal of this test was to assess what objects could be detected along with what level of object detail can be extracted.
Results
We found it useful to sometimes simplify the viewing of objects by hiding the raw LiDAR point cloud and show the objects that were detected in the scene. An example of this is below:
Findings
- Fine grained analysis of all objects in a scene is available.
- Counts of the different object types (such as a car, person, or cyclist) are available for convenience.
- A detailed description of the point data used to identify the objects is available. See the "Object Point Shape" in the left window that shows the points that were used to detect a pedestrian from the scene above.
