Light-Weight Pointcloud Representation with Sparse Gaussian Process

Mahmoud Ali,Lantao Liu,Mahmoud Ali,Lantao Liu

This paper presents a framework to represent high-fidelity pointcloud sensor observations for efficient communication and storage. The proposed approach exploits Sparse Gaussian Process to encode pointcloud into a compact form. Our approach represents both the free space and the occupied space using only one model (one 2D Sparse Gaussian Process) instead of the existing two-model framework (two 3D...
