Abstract
A method, apparatus, and system for estimating a moving speed of a detected pedestrian at an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) is disclosed. A pedestrian is detected in a plurality of frames of point clouds generated by a LIDAR device installed at an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV). In each of at least two of the plurality of frames of point clouds, a minimum bounding box enclosing points corresponding to the pedestrian excluding points corresponding to limbs of the pedestrian is generated. A moving speed of the pedestrian is estimated based at least in part on the minimum bounding boxes across the at least two of the plurality of frames of point clouds. A trajectory for the ADV is planned based at least on the moving speed of the pedestrian. Thereafter, control signals are generated to drive the ADV based on the planned trajectory.
