Existing single-stage detectors for locating objects in point clouds often treat object localization and category classification as separate tasks, so the localization accuracy and classification confidence may not well align. To address this issue, we present a new single-stage detector named the Confident IoU-Aware Single-Stage object Detector (CIA-SSD). First, we design the lightweight Spatial-Semantic Feature Aggregation module to adaptively fuse high-level abstract semantic features and low-level spatial features for accurate predictions of bounding boxes and classification confidence. Also, the predicted confidence is further rectified with our designed IoU-aware confidence rectification module to make the confidence more consistent with the localization accuracy. Based on the rectified confidence, we further formulate the Distance-variant IoU-weighted NMS to obtain smoother regressions and avoid redundant predictions. We experiment CIA-SSD on 3D car detection in the KITTI test set and show that it attains top performance in terms of the official ranking metric (moderate AP 80.28%) and above 32 FPS inference speed, outperforming all prior single-stage detectors. The code is available at https://github.com/Vegeta2020/CIA-SSD.

We present Self-Ensembling Single-Stage object Detector (SE-SSD) for accurate and efficient 3D object detection in outdoor point clouds. Our key focus is on exploiting both soft and hard targets with our formulated constraints to jointly optimize the model, without introducing extra computation in the inference. Specifically, SE-SSD contains a pair of teacher and student SSDs, in which we design an effective IoU-based matching strategy to filter soft targets from the teacher and formulate a consistency loss to align student predictions with them. Also, to maximize the distilled knowledge for ensembling the teacher, we design a new augmentation scheme to produce shape-aware augmented samples to train the student, aiming to encourage it to infer complete object shapes. Lastly, to better exploit hard targets, we design an ODIoU loss to supervise the student with constraints on the predicted box centers and orientations. Our SE-SSD attains top performance compared with all prior published works. Also, it attains top precisions for car detection in the KITTI benchmark (ranked 1st and 2nd on the BEV and 3D leaderboards, respectively) with an ultra-high inference speed. The code is available at https://github.com/Vegeta2020/SE-SSD.
3D object detection based on point clouds has become more and more popular. Some methods propose localizing 3D objects directly from raw point clouds to avoid information loss. However, these methods come with complex structures and significant compu tational overhead, limiting its broader application in real-time scenarios. Some methods choose to transform the point cloud data into compact tensors first and leverage off-the-shelf 2D detectors to propose 3D objects, which is much faster and achieves state-of-the-art results. However, because of the inconsistency between 2D and 3D data, we argue that the performance of compact tensor-based 3D detectors is restricted if we use 2D detectors without corresponding modification. Specifically, the distribution of point clouds is uneven, with most points gather on the boundary of objects, while detectors for 2D data always extract features evenly. Motivated by this observation, we propose DENse Feature Indicator (DENFI), a universal module that helps 3D detectors focus on the densest region of the point clouds in a boundary-aware manner. Moreover, DENFI is lightweight and guarantees real-time speed when applied to 3D object detectors. Experiments on KITTI dataset show that DENFI improves the performance of the baseline single-stage detector remarkably, which achieves new state-of-the-art performance among previous 3D detectors, including both two-stage and multi-sensor fusion methods, in terms of mAP with a 34FPS detection speed.

In this paper, we present an Intersection-over-Union (IoU) guided two-stage 3D object detector with a voxel-to-point decoder. To preserve the necessary information from all raw points and maintain the high box recall in voxel based Region Proposal Ne twork (RPN), we propose a residual voxel-to-point decoder to extract the point features in addition to the map-view features from the voxel based RPN. We use a 3D Region of Interest (RoI) alignment to crop and align the features with the proposal boxes for accurately perceiving the object position. The RoI-Aligned features are finally aggregated with the corner geometry embeddings that can provide the potentially missing corner information in the box refinement stage. We propose a simple and efficient method to align the estimated IoUs to the refined proposal boxes as a more relevant localization confidence. The comprehensive experiments on KITTI and Waymo Open Dataset demonstrate that our method achieves significant improvements with novel architectures against the existing methods.

Most of the existing single-stage and two-stage 3D object detectors are anchor-based methods, while the efficient but challenging anchor-free single-stage 3D object detection is not well investigated. Recent studies on 2D object detection show that t he anchor-free methods also are of great potential. However, the unordered and sparse properties of point clouds prevent us from directly leveraging the advanced 2D methods on 3D point clouds. We overcome this by converting the voxel-based sparse 3D feature volumes into the sparse 2D feature maps. We propose an attentive module to fit the sparse feature maps to dense mostly on the object regions through the deformable convolution tower and the supervised mask-guided attention. By directly regressing the 3D bounding box from the enhanced and dense feature maps, we construct a novel single-stage 3D detector for point clouds in an anchor-free manner. We propose an IoU-based detection confidence re-calibration scheme to improve the correlation between the detection confidence score and the accuracy of the bounding box regression. Our code is publicly available at url{https://github.com/jialeli1/MGAF-3DSSD}.
In this report, we introduce our winning solution to the Real-time 3D Detection and also the Most Efficient Model in the Waymo Open Dataset Challenges at CVPR 2021. Extended from our last years award-winning model AFDet, we have made a handful of mod ifications to the base model, to improve the accuracy and at the same time to greatly reduce the latency. The modified model, named as AFDetV2, is featured with a lite 3D Feature Extractor, an improved RPN with extended receptive field and an added sub-head that produces an IoU-aware confidence score. These model enhancements, together with enriched data augmentation, stochastic weights averaging, and a GPU-based implementation of voxelization, lead to a winning accuracy of 73.12 mAPH/L2 for our AFDetV2 with a latency of 60.06 ms, and an accuracy of 72.57 mAPH/L2 for our AFDetV2-base, entitled as the Most Efficient Model by the challenge sponsor, with a winning latency of 55.86 ms.
