In this project, we attempted to use machine learning to detect and classify different objects in a 3D pointcloud using the labeled datasets from Waymo. Our process and observations are outlined in this wiki, and we recommend navigating this wiki by going through the pages in this order:

  • Home
  • Data Sources
  • PCL Segmentation
  • PCL Feature Representation
  • Model Development

On each page, the next page should be linked at the bottom.
