Not All Points Are Equal: Learning Highly Efficient Point-Based Detectors for 3D LiDAR Point Clouds

We study the problem of efficient object detection of 3D LiDAR point clouds. To reduce the memory and computational cost, existing point-based pipelines usually adopt task-agnostic random sampling or farthest point sampling to progressively downsample input point clouds, despite the fact that not al…
