Optimizing Sparse Convolution on GPUs with CUDA for 3D Point Cloud Processing in Embedded Systems
<|reference_start|>Optimizing Sparse Convolution on GPUs with CUDA for 3D Point Cloud Processing in Embedded Systems: In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of deep learning methods, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which have emerged as the dominant approach in various domains that involve structured grid data, such as picture analysis and processing. Nevertheless, the exponential growth in the utilization of LiDAR and 3D sensors across many domains has resulted in an increased need for the analysis of 3D point clouds. The utilization of 3D point clouds is crucial in various applications, including object recognition and segmentation, as they offer a spatial depiction of things within a three-dimensional environment. In contrast to photos, point clouds exhibit sparsity and lack a regular grid, hence posing distinct processing and computational issues.<|reference_end|>
