Self-driving industry vehicle plays a key role in the industry automation and contributes to resolve the problems of the shortage and increasing cost in manpower. Place recognition and loop-closure detection are main challenges in the localization and navigation tasks, specially when industry vehicles work in large-scale complex environments, such as the logistics warehouse and the port terminal. In this paper, we resolve the loop-closure detection problem by developing a novel 3D point cloud…

Pit30M: A Benchmark for Global Localization in the Age of Self-Driving Cars

Pit30M is introduced, a new image and LiDAR dataset with over 30 million frames, which is 10 to 100 times larger than those used in previous work, and provides, for the first time, a benchmark for sub-metre retrieval-based localization at city scale.

Multi-view 3D Object Detection Network for Autonomous Driving

This paper proposes Multi-View 3D networks (MV3D), a sensory-fusion framework that takes both LIDAR point cloud and RGB images as input and predicts oriented 3D bounding boxes and designs a deep fusion scheme to combine region-wise features from multiple views and enable interactions between intermediate layers of different paths.

Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art in place recognition tasks under long-term applications, and the feature size and inference efficiency in the proposedmethod are applicable in real-time performance on practical robotic platforms.

PointNetVLAD: Deep Point Cloud Based Retrieval for Large-Scale Place Recognition

This paper proposes a combination/modification of the existing PointNet and NetVLAD, which allows end-to-end training and inference to extract the global descriptor from a given 3D point cloud, and proposes the "lazy triplet and quadruplet" loss functions that can achieve more discriminative and generalizable global descriptors to tackle the retrieval task.

PointNet: Deep Learning on Point Sets for 3D Classification and Segmentation

This paper designs a novel type of neural network that directly consumes point clouds, which well respects the permutation invariance of points in the input and provides a unified architecture for applications ranging from object classification, part segmentation, to scene semantic parsing.

M2DP: A novel 3D point cloud descriptor and its application in loop closure detection

A novel global descriptor M2DP for 3D point clouds is presented, and it is shown that the proposed algorithm outperforms state-of-the-art global 3D descriptors in both accuracy and efficiency.

Scan Context is proposed, a non-histogram-based global descriptor from 3D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) scans that makes loop-detection invariant to LiDAR viewpoint changes so that loops can be detected in places such as reverse revisit and corner.

SegMatch: Segment based place recognition in 3D point clouds

It is quantitatively demonstrated that SegMatch can achieve accurate localization at a frequency of 1Hz on the largest sequence of the KITTI odometry dataset, and shown how this algorithm can reliably detect and close loops in real-time, during online operation.

A lightweight and ground-optimized lidar odometry and mapping method, LeGO-LOAM, for realtime six degree-of-freedom pose estimation with ground vehicles and integrated into a SLAM framework to eliminate the pose estimation error caused by drift is integrated.

SeqSLAM: Visual route-based navigation for sunny summer days and stormy winter nights

A new approach to visual navigation under changing conditions dubbed SeqSLAM, which removes the need for global matching performance by the vision front-end - instead it must only pick the best match within any short sequence of images.

Ensemble of shape functions for 3D object classification

The presented shape descriptor shows that the combination of angle, point-distance and area shape functions gives a significant boost in recognition rate against the baseline descriptor and outperforms the state-of-the-art descriptors in the experimental evaluation on a publicly available dataset of real-world objects in table scene contexts with up to 200 categories.
