Method, apparatus and electronic device for real-time object detection

Abstract

A method, an apparatus and an electronic device for real-time object detection are provided according to the present disclosure. In the method, target point cloud data in a range of a preset angle is acquired, where the target point cloud data includes one or more data points, and the preset angle is less than the round angle. A one-dimensional LiDAR point feature of each of the data points in the target point cloud data is determined. A previous frame of LiDAR feature vector is updated based on the one-dimensional LiDAR point feature of each of the data points in the target point cloud data to generate a current frame of LiDAR feature vector. Object information is determined in a real-time manner based on the current frame of LiDAR feature vector. With the method, apparatus and electronic device for real-time object detection provided according to embodiments of the present disclosure, a part of the point cloud data is selected to be processed in real time, which can reduce data delay, reduce the overall running time, and improve processing efficiency. By updating the whole LiDAR feature vector, the object information can be determined in real time in the whole range, so as to realize the object detection in the whole range.
