This paper presents Multi-view Labelling Object Detector (MLOD). The detector takes an RGB image and a LIDAR point cloud as input and follows the two-stage object detection framework. A Region Proposal Network (RPN) generates 3D proposals in a Birds Eye View (BEV) projection of the point cloud. The second stage projects the 3D proposal bounding boxes to the image and BEV feature maps and sends the corresponding map crops to a detection header for classification and bounding-box regression. Unlike other multi-view based methods, the cropped image features are not directly fed to the detection header, but masked by the depth information to filter out parts outside 3D bounding boxes. The fusion of image and BEV features is challenging, as they are derived from different perspectives. We introduce a novel detection header, which provides detection results not just from fusion layer, but also from each sensor channel. Hence the object detector can be trained on data labelled in different views to avoid the degeneration of feature extractors. MLOD achieves state-of-the-art performance on the KITTI 3D object detection benchmark. Most importantly, the evaluation shows that the new header architecture is effective in preventing image feature extractor degeneration.

3D object detection based on LiDAR-camera fusion is becoming an emerging research theme for autonomous driving. However, it has been surprisingly difficult to effectively fuse both modalities without information loss and interference. To solve this i ssue, we propose a single-stage multi-view fusion framework that takes LiDAR birds-eye view, LiDAR range view and camera view images as inputs for 3D object detection. To effectively fuse multi-view features, we propose an attentive pointwise fusion (APF) module to estimate the importance of the three sources with attention mechanisms that can achieve adaptive fusion of multi-view features in a pointwise manner. Furthermore, an attentive pointwise weighting (APW) module is designed to help the network learn structure information and point feature importance with two extra tasks, namely, foreground classification and center regression, and the predicted foreground probability is used to reweight the point features. We design an end-to-end learnable network named MVAF-Net to integrate these two components. Our evaluations conducted on the KITTI 3D object detection datasets demonstrate that the proposed APF and APW modules offer significant performance gains. Moreover, the proposed MVAF-Net achieves the best performance among all single-stage fusion methods and outperforms most two-stage fusion methods, achieving the best trade-off between speed and accuracy on the KITTI benchmark.

Extrinsic perturbation always exists in multiple sensors. In this paper, we focus on the extrinsic uncertainty in multi-LiDAR systems for 3D object detection. We first analyze the influence of extrinsic perturbation on geometric tasks with two basic examples. To minimize the detrimental effect of extrinsic perturbation, we propagate an uncertainty prior on each point of input point clouds, and use this information to boost an approach for 3D geometric tasks. Then we extend our findings to propose a multi-LiDAR 3D object detector called MLOD. MLOD is a two-stage network where the multi-LiDAR information is fused through various schemes in stage one, and the extrinsic perturbation is handled in stage two. We conduct extensive experiments on a real-world dataset, and demonstrate both the accuracy and robustness improvement of MLOD.

We present a simple and flexible object detection framework optimized for autonomous driving. Building on the observation that point clouds in this application are extremely sparse, we propose a practical pillar-based approach to fix the imbalance is sue caused by anchors. In particular, our algorithm incorporates a cylindrical projection into multi-view feature learning, predicts bounding box parameters per pillar rather than per point or per anchor, and includes an aligned pillar-to-point projection module to improve the final prediction. Our anchor-free approach avoids hyperparameter search associated with past methods, simplifying 3D object detection while significantly improving upon state-of-the-art.
Point clouds and images could provide complementary information when representing 3D objects. Fusing the two kinds of data usually helps to improve the detection results. However, it is challenging to fuse the two data modalities, due to their differ ent characteristics and the interference from the non-interest areas. To solve this problem, we propose a Multi-Branch Deep Fusion Network (MBDF-Net) for 3D object detection. The proposed detector has two stages. In the first stage, our multi-branch feature extraction network utilizes Adaptive Attention Fusion (AAF) modules to produce cross-modal fusion features from single-modal semantic features. In the second stage, we use a region of interest (RoI) -pooled fusion module to generate enhanced local features for refinement. A novel attention-based hybrid sampling strategy is also proposed for selecting key points in the downsampling process. We evaluate our approach on two widely used benchmark datasets including KITTI and SUN-RGBD. The experimental results demonstrate the advantages of our method over state-of-the-art approaches.
A significant amount of redundancy exists between consecutive frames of a video. Object detectors typically produce detections for one image at a time, without any capabilities for taking advantage of this redundancy. Meanwhile, many applications for object detection work with videos, including intelligent transportation systems, advanced driver assistance systems and video surveillance. Our work aims at taking advantage of the similarity between video frames to produce better detections. We propose FFAVOD, standing for feature fusion architecture for video object detection. We first introduce a novel video object detection architecture that allows a network to share feature maps between nearby frames. Second, we propose a feature fusion module that learns to merge feature maps to enhance them. We show that using the proposed architecture and the fusion module can improve the performance of three base object detectors on two object detection benchmarks containing sequences of moving road users. Additionally, to further increase performance, we propose an improvement to the SpotNet attention module. Using our architecture on the improved SpotNet detector, we obtain the state-of-the-art performance on the UA-DETRAC public benchmark as well as on the UAVDT dataset.
