Abstract
Autonomous driving is a significant task that has the potential to impact peoples’ day-to-day lives. It is also a difficult task that requires high-quality devices and mature algorithms to guarantee the safety and efficiency. Challenges arise in complex urban environments, where the traffic consists of heterogeneous traffic-agents, including cars, trucks, buses, bicycles, pedestrians, etc. 3D perception and prediction, including 3D segmentation, 3D detection, behavior and trajectory prediction, are important tasks for autonomous driving system because they can tell autonomous vehicles what and where neighboring objects are and where they will go. We proposed efficient and reliable algorithms to solve these problems and achieved state-of-the-art performance.
