Key Points

To develop an adaptive voxel sampling technique based on geometric features that selects informative voxels under bounded capacity constraints to improve LiDAR-based 3D object detection.
Quantified six geometric features using intra-voxel point distribution and local spatial relationships among adjacent voxels to score voxel importance.
Selected top-ranked voxels based on normalized, weighted importance scores to form the detector input under fixed voxel capacity limits.
Evaluated performance using the KITTI benchmark (3,712 training and 3,769 validation scenes) on PV-RCNN, SECOND, PointPillars, and Part-A2 architectures using Overall 3D AP11 moderate and inference runtime.
PV-RCNN equipped with the proposed sampling achieved an Overall 3D AP11 moderate of 72.15 compared to 70.56 for the baseline, demonstrating a 1.59-point improvement.
Average inference latency increased marginally by 2.26 ms (81.74 ms vs. 79.48 ms for baseline PV-RCNN).
Model extensions demonstrated performance gains across SECOND (+3.18), PointPillars (+0.71), and Part-A2 (+0.34) detectors.
