The essence of most shape registration algorithms is to find correspondences between two point clouds and then to solve for a rigid body transformation that aligns the geometry. The main drawback is that the point clouds are obtained by placing the sensor at different views; consequently, the two ma
To perform tasks in dynamic environments, many mobile robots must estimate the motion in the surrounding world. Recently, techniques have been developed to estimate scene flow directly from LIDAR scans, relying on hand-designed features. In this work, we build an encoding network to learn features f
Many autonomous systems require the ability to perceive and understand motion in a dynamic environment. We present a novel algorithm that estimates this motion from raw LIDAR data in real-time without the need for segmentation or model-based tracking. The sensor data is first used to construct an oc…
This paper reports on a system for dynamic obstacle tracking for autonomous vehicles. In this work, we seek to simultaneously estimate both the trajectory of the obstacle and the obstacle's shape. These two tasks are inherently coupled-given only noisy partial views, one cannot accurately estimate t…
