    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for curb detection using light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors. One example of a method for curb detection includes acquiring, based on a scan of an area around a vehicle, a point-cloud frame that includes a description of an intensity of a reflection of the area around the vehicle, selecting a subset of points from the point-cloud frame, seeding each of a plurality of clusters based on the selected points, determining a criterion for each of the selected points, increasing a size of each of the plurality of clusters by including additional points from the point-cloud frame that meet the criterion for the corresponding cluster, identifying a largest cluster of the plurality of clusters upon completion of the increasing step, and detecting a curb based on a boundary of the largest cluster.

    Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for road feature detection using light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensors. One example of a method for road feature detection includes obtaining a point-cloud frame that comprises a description of an intensity of a reflection of beams from an area around a vehicle. The example method further includes creating a plurality of clusters that each include (i) one or more seed points of the point-cloud frame, and (ii) additional points of the point-cloud frame based on a relationship between the additional points and the one or more seed points. The example method further includes identifying a cluster from the plurality of clusters based on a total number of points included in each of the plurality of clusters. The example method further includes detecting a road feature from the cluster.
