It is laborious to manually label point cloud data for training high-quality 3D object detectors. This work proposes a weakly supervised approach for 3D object detection, only requiring a small set of weakly annotated scenes, associated with a few precisely labeled object instances. This is achieved by a two-stage architecture design. Stage-1 learns to generate cylindrical object proposals under weak supervision, i.e., only the horizontal centers of objects are click-annotated on birds view scenes. Stage-2 learns to refine the cylindrical proposals to get cuboids and confidence scores, using a few well-labeled object instances. Using only 500 weakly annotated scenes and 534 precisely labeled vehicle instances, our method achieves 85-95% the performance of current top-leading, fully supervised detectors (which require 3, 712 exhaustively and precisely annotated scenes with 15, 654 instances). More importantly, with our elaborately designed network architecture, our trained model can be applied as a 3D object annotator, allowing both automatic and active working modes. The annotations generated by our model can be used to train 3D object detectors with over 94% of their original performance (under manually labeled data). Our experiments also show our models potential in boosting performance given more training data. Above designs make our approach highly practical and introduce new opportunities for learning 3D object detection with reduced annotation burden.

A crucial task in scene understanding is 3D object detection, which aims to detect and localize the 3D bounding boxes of objects belonging to specific classes. Existing 3D object detectors heavily rely on annotated 3D bounding boxes during training, while these annotations could be expensive to obtain and only accessible in limited scenarios. Weakly supervised learning is a promising approach to reducing the annotation requirement, but existing weakly supervised object detectors are mostly for 2D detection rather than 3D. In this work, we propose VS3D, a framework for weakly supervised 3D object detection from point clouds without using any ground truth 3D bounding box for training. First, we introduce an unsupervised 3D proposal module that generates object proposals by leveraging normalized point cloud densities. Second, we present a cross-modal knowledge distillation strategy, where a convolutional neural network learns to predict the final results from the 3D object proposals by querying a teacher network pretrained on image datasets. Comprehensive experiments on the challenging KITTI dataset demonstrate the superior performance of our VS3D in diverse evaluation settings. The source code and pretrained models are publicly available at https://github.com/Zengyi-Qin/Weakly-Supervised-3D-Object-Detection.

Monocular 3D detection currently struggles with extremely lower detection rates compared to LiDAR-based methods. The poor accuracy is mainly caused by the absence of accurate location cues due to the ill-posed nature of monocular imagery. LiDAR point clouds, which provide precise spatial measurement, can offer beneficial information for the training of monocular methods. To make use of LiDAR point clouds, prior works project them to form depth map labels, subsequently training a dense depth estimator to extract explicit location features. This indirect and complicated way introduces intermediate products, i.e., depth map predictions, taking much computation costs as well as leading to suboptimal performances. In this paper, we propose LPCG (LiDAR point cloud guided monocular 3D object detection), which is a general framework for guiding the training of monocular 3D detectors with LiDAR point clouds. Specifically, we use LiDAR point clouds to generate pseudo labels, allowing monocular 3D detectors to benefit from easy-collected massive unlabeled data. LPCG works well under both supervised and unsupervised setups. Thanks to a general design, LPCG can be plugged into any monocular 3D detector, significantly boosting the performance. As a result, we take the first place on KITTI monocular 3D/BEV (birds-eye-view) detection benchmark with a considerable margin. The code will be made publicly available soon.
While current 3D object recognition research mostly focuses on the real-time, onboard scenario, there are many offboard use cases of perception that are largely under-explored, such as using machines to automatically generate high-quality 3D labels. Existing 3D object detectors fail to satisfy the high-quality requirement for offboard uses due to the limited input and speed constraints. In this paper, we propose a novel offboard 3D object detection pipeline using point cloud sequence data. Observing that different frames capture complementary views of objects, we design the offboard detector to make use of the temporal points through both multi-frame object detection and novel object-centric refinement models. Evaluated on the Waymo Open Dataset, our pipeline named 3D Auto Labeling shows significant gains compared to the state-of-the-art onboard detectors and our offboard baselines. Its performance is even on par with human labels verified through a human label study. Further experiments demonstrate the application of auto labels for semi-supervised learning and provide extensive analysis to validate various design choices.

In this preliminary work we attempt to apply submanifold sparse convolution to the task of 3D person detection. In particular, we present Person-MinkUNet, a single-stage 3D person detection network based on Minkowski Engine with U-Net architecture. T he network achieves a 76.4% average precision (AP) on the JRDB 3D detection benchmark.
When localizing and detecting 3D objects for autonomous driving scenes, obtaining information from multiple sensor (e.g. camera, LIDAR) typically increases the robustness of 3D detectors. However, the efficient and effective fusion of different featu res captured from LIDAR and camera is still challenging, especially due to the sparsity and irregularity of point cloud distributions. This notwithstanding, point clouds offer useful complementary information. In this paper, we would like to leverage the advantages of LIDAR and camera sensors by proposing a deep neural network architecture for the fusion and the efficient detection of 3D objects by identifying their corresponding 3D bounding boxes with orientation. In order to achieve this task, instead of densely combining the point-wise feature of the point cloud and the related pixel features, we propose a novel fusion algorithm by projecting a set of 3D Region of Interests (RoIs) from the point clouds to the 2D RoIs of the corresponding the images. Finally, we demonstrate that our deep fusion approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the KITTI 3D object detection challenging benchmark.
