原文アブストラクト
Safe autonomous agents and mobile robots need fast real time 3D perception, especially for vulnerable road users (VRUs) such as pedestrians. We introduce a new bird's eye view (BEV) encoding, which maps the full 3D LiDAR point cloud into a light-weight 2D BEV tensor with three height bands. We explicitly reformulate 3D detection as a 2D detection problem and then reconstruct 3D boxes from the BEV outputs. A single network detects cars, pedestrians, and cyclists in one pass. The backbone uses area attention at deep stages, a hierarchical bidirectional neck over P1 to P4 fuses context and detail, and the head predicts oriented boxes with distribution focal learning for side offsets and a rotated IoU loss. Training applies a small vertical re bin and a mild reflectance jitter in channel space to resist memorization. We use an interquartile range (IQR) filter to remove noisy and outlier LiDAR points during 3D reconstruction. On KITTI dataset, TriBand-BEV attains 58.7/52.6/47.2 pedestrian BEV AP(%) for easy, moderate, and hard at 49 FPS on a single consumer GPU, surpassing Complex-YOLO, with gains of +12.6%, +7.5%, and +3.1%. Qualitative scenes show stable detection under occlusion. The pipeline is compact and ready for real time robotic deployment. Our source code is publicly available on GitHub.
