Research Work: AI-based Traffic Sensing using LiDAR Point Cloud

Abstract:

Poor traffic management often leads to problems like gridlocks, accidents, longer commutes and high level of air pollution. In order to enhance traffic rule, it is important to sense the real time traffic information. The traffic information includes vehicle count, vehicle type, speed etc. LiDAR is a promissing solution for better traffic sensing because of following advantages: (a) 360 degree horizontal field of view (b) Ability to sense depth information (c) ability to give precise location of objects as cartesian Co-ordinates (d) large range of 100-200 meter. The research plan is as follows (i) LiDAR data acquisition (including transmission and compression) (ii) Pre-processing (iii) Ground point removal (iv) Object Segmentation (Clustering) (v) Classification in to real objects (cars, pedestrian etc. ) (vi)Speed detection (vii) Real time implementation using edge computing device (viii) Optimizing run time.
