Here’s a preliminary demo of some LIDAR highway vehicle/pedestrian detection algorithms I’ve been working on the past few months. This method is an algorithmic approach compared to a training/learning based method, e.g. neural networks. I think there is some interesting discussion on the performance differences between the two approaches, and hope to publish about this soon.

I’ll also be working to develop vehicle classification and tracking algorithms so that I can provide predictions of where the vehicle may be at some timesteps ahead.
