Researchers have developed TriBand-BEV, a novel real-time 3D pedestrian detection system using only LiDAR data. The system encodes 3D LiDAR point clouds into a lightweight 2D Bird's Eye View (BEV) tensor with three height bands, effectively transforming the 3D detection problem into a 2D one. TriBand-BEV can detect multiple types of road users simultaneously and achieves state-of-the-art performance on the KITTI dataset, demonstrating robust detection even under occlusion. AI
