Multi-Task Real-Time 3D LiDAR Perception with Attention-Enhanced MobilePIXOR for Obstacle Segmentation and Pedestrian Detection in Autonomous Robots
摘要
This paper presents a real-time 3D LiDAR perception framework, enhanced with an Attention-Driven MobilePIXOR model for obstacle segmentation and pedestrian detection in autonomous robots. The proposed multi-task model leverages the MobilePIXOR architecture with depthwise separable convolutions and integrates Convolutional Block Attention Module (CBAM), enhancing object detection precision to 96.80% and improving IoU for obstacle segmentation to 56.50%. A heatmap header system, incorporating Gaussian heatmaps, is used to predict object center locations, further improving detection accuracy. The framework converts LiDAR data into structured voxel grids, optimizing spatial awareness and enabling the differentiation between drivable and non-drivable areas. An integrated loss function is introduced to jointly optimize both detection and segmentation tasks. Additionally, the novel
