Method and device for detecting boundary of road in 3d point cloud using cascade classifier

Abstract

An embodiment device for detecting a boundary of a road in a 3D point cloud using a cascade classifier includes a rule-based classifier configured to determine whether a received LiDAR cluster has a likelihood of becoming a candidate for the boundary of the road using a box parameter surrounding a point cloud constituting the LiDAR cluster and a point parameter, and a learning-based classifier configured to apply a machine-learning scheme to the LiDAR cluster selected as the candidate for the boundary of the road by the rule-based classifier to determine the LiDAR cluster to be the boundary of the road or an object other than the boundary of the road.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
