    Abstract: A method of processing point cloud information includes converting points in a point cloud obtained from a lidar sensor into a voxel grid, generating, from the voxel grid, sparse voxel features by applying a multi-layer perceptron and one or more max pooling layers that reduce dimension of input data; applying a cascade of an encoder that performs a N-stage sparse-to-dense feature operation, a global context pooling (GCP) module, and an M-stage decoder that performs a dense-to-sparse feature generation operation. The GCP module bridges an output of a last stage of the N-stages with an input of a first stage of the M-stages, where N and M are positive integers. The GCP module comprises a multi-scale feature extractor; and performing one or more perception operations on an output of the M-stage decoder and/or an output of the GCP module.
