ABSTRACT AQ:8 A large number of vision sensors has been proposed for enabling self-driving vehicles to
perceive their surroundings. Among them, Light Detection And Ranging (LiDAR) presents the unique
advantage of acquiring a high resolution 3D representation of the vehicle surroundings, in the form of point
clouds, which enables accurate 3D object detection. The success of the fi rst (and current) generation LiDARs
has motivated the development of a second generation of this sensor, now based on coherent detection.
Second generation LiDARs thus enable not only estimating radial distance, but also radial velocity for each
point of the point cloud. The objective of this work is to investigate which benefi ts can be obtained by
considering such an additional information – radial velocity – in 3D object detection. Results show that
considering object velocity is particularly helpful in objects represented by a small number of points.,
