LiSu: A Dataset and Method for LiDAR Surface Normal Estimation

LiDARBSD-3-Clause licenseIntroduced 2025-03-11

We present LiSu, a novel synthetic LiDAR dataset targeted for research on surface normal estimation. We leverage CARLA, a versatile simulation environment offering diverse urban and rural landscapes, including downtown areas, small towns, and multi-lane highways. By extending CARLA’s LiDAR sensor to capture not only point locations but also surface normal vectors, we curate an extensive dataset of roughly 50k frames.
