A GPU-accelerated LiDAR Sensor for Generating Labelled Datasets

Published in Congreso Español de Informática Gráfica (CEIG), 2021


Abstract

This paper presents a GPU-based LiDAR simulator to generate large datasets of ground-truth point clouds. LiDAR technology has significantly increased its impact on academic and industrial environments. However, some of its applications require a large amount of annotated LiDAR data. Furthermore, there exist many types of LiDAR sensors. Therefore, developing a parametric LiDAR model allows simulating a wide range of LiDAR scanning technologies and obtaining a significant number of points clouds at no cost. Beyond their intensity data, these synthetic point clouds can be classified with any level of detail.
