Sidewalk detection

[omar-bakr]

Does this algorithm detect the road from the sidewalk ? Or both of them are both a ground plane after segmantation and if this is the case how do you recommend to distinguish between sidewalk and the road?

Hi sorry for my late reply. In this toy code, it's just fit a plane and segment it out. So it doesn't play a lot on distinguish the sidewalk and road, unless you make a very precise height threshold of course....
In my personal opinion, you could apply a learning based algorithm like FCN segmentation on the bird eye view images of point clouds, which requires some efforts on label annotation, training and maybe better for high resolution LiDARs.
