How to add a new LiDAR Perception Architecture

[ike-kazu]

I got a question about lidar perception.
Now, we have the only center-point architecture. I would like to create a new LiDAR Perception Architecture for example pointpilldar, VoxelNet and so on for researching in University.
Do we have any docs about adding a new LiDAR Perception Architecture ?
Thank you for reading !

Hi, thank you for your interest in Autoware community! I am Koji from perception team in TIER IV.

Currently we do not have a specific document on adding a new LiDAR perception package. Please go through the contributing guideline for overall instructions. Also, you may find the Autoware node diagram helpful in creating a PR. Furthermore, as a perception engineer, I would recommend to do some basic evaluation on your model before submitting the PR, e.g. an estimation performance on sample rosbag, computational efficiency, etc.
