Sensor Acquisition Geometry. We represent in a the acquisition of a rotating sensor, which is split into 1 ⁄3 turn slices in b. As the Laser emitters position forms an angle of over 17.3 • around the sensor head, taking slices with respect to the sensor rotation θ results in a jagged profile.

Roof-mounted spinning LiDAR sensors are widely used by autonomous vehicles, driving the need for real-time processing of 3D point sequences. However, most LiDAR semantic segmentation datasets and algorithms split these acquisitions into $360^\circ$ frames, leading to acquisition latency that is incompatible with realistic real-time applications and...

Context 1
... the fibers (i.e. the individual lasers) do not all face the same direction: they are arranged around the sensor's heads at different angles, with a range of more than 17.3 • . This means that the points within a packet are not vertically aligned but present a jagged profile as seen in Figure 4. In order to obtain frames with straight edges such as those of SemanticKITTI [3], we would have to consider an acquisition over a sensor rotation of 377 • , adding a further 5ms of latency. ...

The shared autonomous vehicle (SAV) system is considered as an efficient transportation mode in the future. In the literature, optimization of SAV systems has been extensively studied. However, SAV systems could bring greater social benefits if we could use them with existing public transportation systems, such as bus rapid transit (BRT), in an int...

Image Captioning is an important Language and Vision task that finds application in a variety of contexts, ranging from healthcare to autonomous vehicles. As many real-world applications rely on devices with limited resources, much effort in the field was put into the development of lighter and faster models. However, much of the current optimizati...

The emergence of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) has the potential to dramatically increase road capacity, and the provision of dedicated lanes for CAVs is a common management strategy to ensure that CAVs take appropriate priority over other vehicles. However, existing models of CAV lane management do not perform well at low CAV market penetra...
