The invention provides a multi-
modal three-dimensional target detection method based on an attention mechanism, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining image data and
LiDAR point cloud data, carrying out the preprocessing of the image data and the
LiDAR point cloud data, carrying out the
feature extraction of the processed image data and the processed
LiDAR point cloud data, and carrying out the
feature extraction of the processed image data and the processed
LiDAR point cloud data; and fusing the extracted image features and the point cloud features based on a multimodal
feature fusion algorithm of bidirectional information interaction, optimizing the fused features, eliminating redundancy and
noise, performing refined
processing on the fused features in a specific
region of interest, inputting the fused and optimized features into a target detection module, and performing target detection on the target. Through candidate box generation, classification and regression tasks, classification, positioning and identification of a multi-
modal three-dimensional target are completed, based on a non-maximum suppression
algorithm, a redundant detection box is removed, and a detection result is output, including a category
label of the target, a bounding box coordinate and a
confidence score. According to the invention, the efficiency and detection precision of multi-
modal fusion are improved, and the method is convenient to use.
