“…(2) Object point cloud segmentation and recognition: After filtering the background point cloud, it is necessary to further identify vehicles, pedestrians, and other objects from the filtered foreground point cloud. Firstly, a three-dimensional object point cloud clustering algorithm, such as the point cloud clustering method based on Euler distance [ 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 ], point density, and its variants [ 36 , 43 , 44 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 ], is used to accurately segment the foreground object point cloud into independent objects. Then, according to the prior knowledge of the object, several handcrafted features, such as the standard deviation and clustering dimension of the cluster point cloud, are extracted from the cluster.…”
