| Title: Cutting-edge Object Detection/Classification Approaches with Deep Learning and 3D Point Cloud Data by Depth Camera | |
| Abstract: Many studies have explored cutting-edge approaches for object detection and classification using deep learning (DL) techniques and 3D point cloud data obtained from depth cameras. Preprocessing methods such as downsampling, normalization, and principal component analysis (PCA) are applied to the 3D point cloud data to reduce training time and enhance the discriminative features within the point cloud. This keynote presentation primarily focuses on discussing these preprocessing methods and their applications in the context of 3D object detection and classification using depth camera-acquired 3D point cloud data. | |
