Researchers have developed a new method to improve the real-time performance of Transformer models processing Full-Waveform LiDAR (FWL) data. The proposed FWL-ToPM technique reduces computational cost by selectively pruning and merging tokens based on intensity distributions, while FWLAug enhances generalization through physics-aware data augmentation that preserves waveform structure and geometry. These advancements enable the first real-time FWL Transformer, achieving significant speedups and accuracy gains on benchmarks, paving the way for practical deployment in adverse conditions. AI
