    Abstract: The present application discloses a method and an apparatus for processing point cloud data. The method in an embodiment comprises: presenting a to-be-labeled point cloud frame and a camera image formed by photographing an identical scene at an identical moment as the point cloud frame; determining, in response to an operation of selecting an object in the point cloud frame by a user, an area encompassing the selected object in the point cloud frame; projecting the area from the point cloud frame to the camera image, to obtain a projected area in the camera image; and adding a mark in the projected area, for labeling, by the user, the selected object in the point cloud frame according to the mark indicating an object in the camera image. This implementation can assist labeling personnel in rapidly and correctly labeling an object in a point cloud frame.

    Abstract: A motion compensation method and apparatus applicable to laser point cloud data includes acquiring laser point cloud data of a frame; using an acquisition time of a start point as a target time; interpolating coordinate transformation relations and an end laser point, to obtain coordinate transformation relations of other laser points, and transforming coordinates of the other laser points to the coordinates at the target time. During motion compensation on each frame of laser point cloud data, the coordinate transformation relations corresponding to only the start and end laser points are obtained, and the coordinate transformation relations corresponding to the two points are interpolated to obtain transformation relations corresponding to other laser points, thus performing motion compensation. Therefore, the processing speed is improved and meets high real-time requirements on systems such as autopilot control systems.
