PV-SSD: A Multi-Modal Point Cloud Feature Fusion Method for Projection Features and Variable Receptive Field Voxel Features

LiDAR-based 3D object detection and classification is crucial for autonomous driving. However, real-time inference from extremely sparse 3D data is a formidable challenge. To address this problem, a typical class of approaches transforms the point cloud cast into a regular data representation (voxels or projection maps). Then, it performs feature extraction with convolutional neural networks. However, such methods often result in a certain degree of information loss due to down-sampling or over-compression of feature information. This paper proposes a multi-modal point cloud feature fusion method for projection features and variable receptive field voxel features (PV-SSD) based on projection and variable voxelization to solve the information loss problem. We design a two-branch feature extraction structure with a 2D convolutional neural network to extract the point cloud's projection features in bird's-eye view to focus on the correlation between local features. A voxel feature extraction branch is used to extract local fine-grained features. Meanwhile, we propose a voxel feature extraction method with variable sensory fields to reduce the information loss of voxel branches due to downsampling. It avoids missing critical point information by selecting more useful feature points based on feature point weights for the detection task. In addition, we propose a multi-modal feature fusion module for point clouds. To validate the effectiveness of our method, we tested it on the KITTI dataset and ONCE dataset.
