A survey of 3D object detection algorithms for intelligent vehicles development

With the rapid development of Artificial Intelligent algorithms on Computer Vision, 2D object detection has greatly succeeded and been applied in various industrial products. In the past several years, the accuracy of 2D object detection has been dramatically improved, even beyond the human eyes detection ability. However, there is still a limitation of 2D object detection for the applications of Intelligent Driving. A safe and reliable self-driving car needs to detect a 3D model of the around objects so that an intelligent driving car has a perception ability to real driving situations. This paper systematically surveys the development of 3D object detection methods applied to intelligent driving technology. This paper also analyzes the shortcomings of the existing 3D detection algorithms and the future development directions of 3D detection algorithms on intelligent driving.
