This paper presents a novel single-stage 3D object detection framework that addresses the underdeveloped landscape of point-based networks. Current approaches in the point cloud domain often overlook optimization, impeding the comprehensive exploration of relationships among adjacent point sets. The proposed method integrates density clustering and graph neural networks (GNNs) to form an efficient single-stage 3D object detection network. Employing a density clustering ball query optimizes the partitioned point cloud space, emphasizing the inclusion of key point sets harboring detailed object features. Leveraging GNNs facilitates the extraction of both local and global relationships inherent in the data. The approach showcases rapid inference speeds and achieves a superior balance between detection performance and inference time, as demonstrated through experiments on the KITTI dataset. Furthermore, our paper introduces Point-GNN, a graph neural network designed for object detection in LiDAR point clouds. The approach efficiently encodes the point cloud using a fixed-radius near-neighbors graph and leverages the proposed Point-GNN to predict object categories and shapes for each graph vertex. Auto-registration mechanisms reduce translation variance, and a box merging and scoring operation accurately combines detections from multiple vertices. Experimental results on the KITTI benchmark reveal that Point-GNN surpasses fusion-based algorithms, showcasing the potential of graph neural networks in the realm of 3D object detection. Additionally, the paper contributes to the field by proposing an attention-based feature aggregation technique within a graph neural network for 3D object detection in LiDAR scans. The method employs a distance-aware down-sampling scheme to enhance algorithmic performance while retaining maximum geometric features, even for objects distant from the sensor. Each GNN layer incorporates per-node masked attention, considering the underlying neighborhood graph structure and eliminating costly matrix operations. The proposed method achieves comparable results for 3D object detection, demonstrating its robustness and accuracy on the KITTI dataset.
