Thanks. But Nus are of 32beams, why you use 16 instead of 32?
As mentioned in the paper, the FOV of nuScenes is twice as wide as that of Waymo. Consequently, from a density perspective—meaning the number of beams per unit area—it effectively reduces to one-fourth, resulting in a similar point distribution. This is why we used a 16-channel setup.
Thank you. In the code of LiDARDistill, 'ri_index' is set to 0 for only the first return in convert_range_image_to_point_cloud( https://github.com/weiyithu/LiDAR-Distillation/blob/1c222ca89685b2625260330ba137c760a1bd0e60/pcdet/datasets/waymo/waymo_utils.py#L63), whiles other codes set the ri_index to (0, 1)(TODA or SSDA3D). Does it matters?
I’m not too sure about this. I just remember that create_data is from the TODA code, and the 16^ was generated using LiDARDistill.
Hi
I used the LiDARDistill code (https://github.com/weiyithu/LiDAR-Distillation) for 16-channel downsampling. I plan to update this later, but if it’s urgent, please refer to the beam downsampling code in the getting_started.md file on the GitHub page
