To reduce detection latency significantly compared to existing frame-based LiDAR approaches.
To create a versatile moving event detection system applicable to various LiDAR sensors and environments.

Main Methods:

Introduced M-detector, a system that processes LiDAR points individually upon arrival.
Leveraged occlusion principles for real-time motion analysis.
Designed for compatibility with diverse LiDAR sensors and operational settings.

Main Results:

Achieved microsecond-level detection latency, significantly faster than millisecond-level frame-based methods.
Demonstrated superior accuracy, computational efficiency, and generalization ability across various datasets.
Validated M-detector's effectiveness in diverse experimental scenarios.

Conclusions:

M-detector offers a groundbreaking approach to real-time moving event detection using LiDAR.
The method significantly reduces latency, enhancing robotic perception in dynamic environments.
M-detector shows strong potential for widespread adoption in robotics and autonomous systems.
