The invention discloses a
laser radar real-time semantic segmentation method and
system based on image and
point cloud multi-view fusion knowledge
distillation, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining
laser radar point cloud data and camera
RGB image data, building a
projection mapping relation between
point cloud and image pixels, and enabling the mapping relation to be used for searching a common effective projection point;
laser radar point
cloud data is converted into a
voxel grid view and a distance plane view, a main and auxiliary double-
branch architecture is constructed in combination with camera
RGB image data, hierarchical compression features are fused through three-level mutual attention gating, and multi-
modal multi-view fusion features are generated; respectively distilling the multi-
modal multi-view fusion features to a
main branch and an auxiliary
branch by adopting a bidirectional knowledge
distillation strategy, and synchronously optimizing the dual-
branch feature extraction capability; the auxiliary branch is unidirectionally distilled to the
main branch, so that the performance of the
main branch is further improved; and migrating the semantic segmentation capability on the point cloud multi-view and image-point cloud multi-
modal fusion features to a point cloud
voxel network, thereby realizing real-time high-precision semantic segmentation of a radar point cloud single mode. According to the method, the precision and the real-time performance of point cloud semantic segmentation in a dynamic scene are remarkably improved.
