3D Lidar has become a widely used sensor technology in autonomous vehicles by providing accurate distance information. However, lidar pointcloud processing often involves sophisticated algorithms, and takes a lot of computational power. Many prior approaches relied on a GPU-based parallel programming model, such as CUDA, to accelerate these computations. However, little attention has been given to comparing different methods for selecting the most-suited programming and parallelization approaches for a given computing system. We present our findings and insights identified by implementing various parallel approaches considering both CPUs and GPUs. We also demonstrate significant acceleration results using a realworld perception algorithm developed to detect road boundaries. Finally, we compare the pros and cons of each method in terms of system architecture, programming model, and resource utilization to yield a better understanding of choosing the best parallelization approach for a given optimization objective. |
