LiDAR Person Detection with YOLO

Finds pedestrians in point clouds via a bird's-eye projection

5-6 weeks build

Overview

Raw LiDAR scans from the KITTI dataset are cropped, voxelised and projected into bird's-eye-view images that encode height, intensity and density as channels. A YOLO detector trained on these images locates pedestrians and cyclists, and boxes are projected back into the 3D point cloud and onto the camera image for inspection in an Open3D viewer.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Point cloud to bird's-eye-view encoding with three channels
  • 02KITTI labels converted into 2D training boxes
  • 03YOLO trained for pedestrians, cyclists and cars
  • 04Detections projected back into 3D and the camera view
  • 05Average precision per class using KITTI evaluation rules

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Point cloud I/O

    KITTI scan loading, cropping and ground filtering.

  2. 02

    BEV encoding

    Height, intensity and density maps from voxels.

  3. 03

    Detector

    YOLO training on projected images with rotated boxes.

  4. 04

    Back-projection

    Calibration maths from BEV to 3D and to camera.

  5. 05

    Visualiser

    Open3D scene with boxes and frame scrubbing.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain why BEV projection makes LiDAR usable by 2D detectors
  • Walk through the KITTI calibration matrices
  • Demo detections rendered in a 3D point cloud
