Abstract

An apparatus and method for estimating the pose of one or more persons is described. An example technique may include receiving a point cloud from a LiDAR sensor, the point cloud including a plurality of points representing positions of objects relative to the LiDAR sensor, processing the point cloud to produce a voxelized frame including a plurality of voxels, processing the voxelized frame using a deep neural network to determine one or more persons relative to the LiDAR sensor and a pose for each of the one or more persons, and outputting a location of the determined one or more persons and the pose for each of the determined one or more persons.
