Curb detection and tracking using 3D-LIDAR scanner

This paper presents a novel road curb detection method using 3D-LIDAR scanner. To detect the curbs, the ground points are separated from the pointcloud first. Then the candidate curb points are selected using three spatial cues: the elevation difference, gradient value and normal orientation. Afterw...
