Semantic outdoor scene understanding based on 3D LiDAR point clouds is a challenging task for autonomous driving due to the sparse and irregular data structure. This paper takes advantages of the uneven range distribution of different LiDAR laser beams to propose a range aware instance segmentation network, RangeSeg. RangeSeg uses a shared encoder backbone with two range dependent decoders. A heavy decoder only computes top of a range image where the far and small objects locate to improve small object detection accuracy, and a light decoder computes whole range image for low computational cost. The results are further clustered by the DBSCAN method with a resolution weighted distance function to get instance-level segmentation results. Experiments on the KITTI dataset show that RangeSeg outperforms the state-of-the-art semantic segmentation methods with enormous speedup and improves the instance-level segmentation performance on small and far objects. The whole RangeSeg pipeline meets the real time requirement on NVIDIA JETSON AGX Xavier with 19 frames per second in average.
