A Spatial-Temporal Approach for Moving Object Recognition with 2D LIDAR

Moving object recognition is one of the most fundamental functions for autonomous vehicles, which occupy an environment shared by other dynamic agents. We propose a spatial-temporal (ST) approach for moving object recognition using a 2D LIDAR. Our experiments show reliable performance. The contributions of this paper include: (i) the design of ST features for accumulated 2D LIDAR data; (ii) a real-time implementation for moving object recognition using the ST features.
