Methods and systems for generating a three-dimensional representation of a scene

Abstract

Systems and methods for generating a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a scene are provided. The method comprises: accessing a series of 3D point clouds; detecting an object in a first 3D point cloud from the series; upon receiving a second 3D point cloud successive to the first 3D point cloud in the series of 3D point clouds: determining an estimated bounding box indicative of an estimated position of the object in the second 3D point cloud; determining a number N of 3D point clouds from the series of 3D point clouds preceding the second 3D point based on a dynamic parameter of the object in the first 3D point cloud; and generating an augmented 3D point cloud by aggregating data points representative of the object from the N 3D point clouds. The present method may help generate 3D points clouds enabling for more accurate determination of driving scenarios.
