A Novel Perception Entropy Metric for Optimizing Vehicle Perception With LiDAR Deployment
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Developing an effective evaluation metric is crucial for accurately and swiftly measuring LiDAR perception performance. One major issue is the lack of metrics that can simultaneously generate fast and accurate evaluations based on either object detection or point cloud data. In this study, we propose a novel LiDAR perception entropy metric based on the probability of vehicle grid occupancy. This metric reflects the influence of point cloud distribution on vehicle detection performance. Based on this, we develop a LiDAR deployment optimization model, which is solved using a differential evolution-based particle swarm optimization algorithm. A comparative experiment demonstrated that the proposed PE-VGOP offers a correlation of more than 0.98 with the vehicle detection results in evaluating LiDAR perception performance. Furthermore, compared to base deployments, field experiments indicate that the proposed optimization model can significantly enhance the perception performance of various types of LiDARs, including RS-16, RS-32, and RS-80. Notably, it achieves a 25% increase in detection Recall for the RS-32 LiDAR. Additionally, sensitivity analysis under varying traffic densities further verifies the robustness of the proposed model. This study provides a practical and generalizable framework for enhancing roadside LiDAR deployment in diverse traffic environments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
