Abstract
In this paper, a ground target extraction system for a novel LiDAR, airborne streak tube imaging LiDAR (ASTIL), is proposed. This system depends on only a single echo and a single data source, and can achieve fast ground target extraction. This system consists of two modules: Autofocus SSD (Single Shot MultiBox Detector) and post-processing. The Autofocus SSD proposed in this paper is used for object detection in the ASTIL echo signal, and its prediction speed exceeds that of the original SSD by a factor of three. In the post-processing module, we describe in detail how the echoes are processed into point clouds. The system was tested on a test set, and it can be seen from a visual perspective that satisfactory results were obtained for the extraction of buildings and trees. The system mAPIoU=0.5 is 0.812, and the FPS is greater than 34. The results prove that this ASTIL processing system can achieve fast ground target extraction based on a single echo and a single data source.
