Abstract: This proposal explores a cloud-centric framework for managing 3D data as a networked and shared resource in vehicular systems. Fueled by 3D sensors like LiDARs, 3D data enables new ways of perceiving and interacting with the physical world with high spatial fidelity. With the rise of vehicular communication, 3D data can now be streamed, fused, and interpreted beyond local on-board devices enabling new forms of collaborative scene understanding and immersive content delivery.
The proposal introduces two systems: RECAP, which reconstructs traffic scenes by aggregating 3D data from moving vehicles, and CIP, which performs collaborative perception using multiple infrastructure sensors. These works demonstrate how cloud processing can support real-time, accurate, and scalable 3D scene operations. Looking ahead, the proposed system MARS aims to deliver 3D video to vehicles for immersive passenger experiences, expanding the use of 3D data beyond machine perception to human-centered applications.
