Welcome to this multiple part series where we discuss five pioneering research papers for you to get started with 3D object detection. In this article, we will discuss PointPillars by Gregory P. Meyer et. al. Compared to the other works we discuss in this area, PointPillars is one of the fastest inference models with great accuracy on the publicly available self-driving cars dataset . PointPillars run at 62 fps which is orders of magnitude faster than the previous works in this area.
