    This class serves as the API for experiments on the `KITTI Dataset
    <http://www.cvlibs.net/datasets/kitti/eval_object.php?obj_benchmark=3d>`_.

        data_root (str): Path of dataset root.

        split (str): Split of input data.
        pts_prefix (str, optional): Prefix of points files.
            Defaults to 'velodyne'.

            Defaults to None.
        classes (tuple[str], optional): Classes used in the dataset.
            Defaults to None.
        modality (dict, optional): Modality to specify the sensor data used
            as input. Defaults to None.
        box_type_3d (str, optional): Type of 3D box of this dataset.
            Based on the `box_type_3d`, the dataset will encapsulate the box
            to its original format then converted them to `box_type_3d`.
            Defaults to 'LiDAR' in this dataset. Available options includes

            - 'LiDAR': Box in LiDAR coordinates.
            - 'Depth': Box in depth coordinates, usually for indoor dataset.
            - 'Camera': Box in camera coordinates.
        filter_empty_gt (bool, optional): Whether to filter empty GT.
            Defaults to True.
        test_mode (bool, optional): Whether the dataset is in test mode.
            Defaults to False.
        pcd_limit_range (list, optional): The range of point cloud used to
            filter invalid predicted boxes.
