LiDAR point cloud panoptic segmentation, including both semantic and instance segmentation, plays a critical role in meticulous scene understanding for autonomous driving. Existing 3D voxelized approaches either utilize 3D sparse convolution that only focuses on local scene understanding, or add extra and time-consuming PointNet branch to capture global feature structures. To address these limitat...
