It'll be interesting to see how SDC makers handle the computational complexity of deep nets operating on these massive point clouds generated from LIDAR. It seems like these aren't getting any easier with Luminar claiming ~10 million points. Running that through a hefty 3D ConvNet could easily soak up a petaflop...
- argonaut 9y agoTo my limited knowledge, they don't. Deep nets are mostly used by the self-driving companies for processing camera data for image detection and segmentation tasks like detecting other vehicles, recognizing street signs, etc. Presumably, having 3D point clouds lets you hand-code solutions to a lot of these tasks without having to use ML.
- deepnotderp 9y agoThat's been my experience as well, I was just wondering if anything has changed in the year or so that's passed.
