State-of-the-art methods for driving-scene LiDAR-based perception (including point cloud semantic segmentation, panoptic segmentation and 3D detection, etc) often project the point clouds to 2D space and then process them via 2D convolution. Although this cooperation shows the competitiveness in the point cloud, it inevitably alters and abandons the 3D topology and geometric relations. A natural remedy is to utilize the 3D voxelization and 3D convolution network. However, we found that in the outdoor point cloud, the improvement obtained in this way is quite limited. An important reason is the property of the outdoor point cloud, namely sparsity and varying density. Motivated by this investigation, we propose a new framework for the outdoor LiDAR segmentation, where cylindrical partition and asymmetrical 3D convolution networks are designed to explore the 3D geometric pattern while maintaining these inherent properties. The proposed model acts as a backbone and the learned features from this model can be used for downstream tasks such as point cloud semantic and panoptic segmentation or 3D detection. In this paper, we benchmark our model on these three tasks. For semantic segmentation, we evaluate the proposed model on several large-scale datasets, ie, SemanticKITTI, nuScenes and A2D2. Our method achieves the state-of-the-art on the leaderboard of SemanticKITTI (both single-scan and multi-scan challenge), and significantly outperforms existing methods on nuScenes and A2D2 dataset. Furthermore, the proposed 3D framework also shows strong performance and good generalization on LiDAR panoptic segmentation and LiDAR 3D detection.

3D LiDAR (light detection and ranging) semantic segmentation is important in scene understanding for many applications, such as auto-driving and robotics. For example, for autonomous cars equipped with RGB cameras and LiDAR, it is crucial to fuse com
plementary information from different sensors for robust and accurate segmentation. Existing fusion-based methods, however, may not achieve promising performance due to the vast difference between the two modalities. In this work, we investigate a collaborative fusion scheme called perception-aware multi-sensor fusion (PMF) to exploit perceptual information from two modalities, namely, appearance information from RGB images and spatio-depth information from point clouds. To this end, we first project point clouds to the camera coordinates to provide spatio-depth information for RGB images. Then, we propose a two-stream network to extract features from the two modalities, separately, and fuse the features by effective residual-based fusion modules. Moreover, we propose additional perception-aware losses to measure the perceptual difference between the two modalities. Extensive experiments on two benchmark data sets show the superiority of our method. For example, on nuScenes, our PMF outperforms the state-of-the-art method by 0.8 in mIoU.
Deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) have achieved astonishing results in a large variety of applications. However, using these models on mobile or embedded devices is difficult due to the limited memory and computation resources. Recently, the i
nverted residual block becomes the dominating solution for the architecture design of compact CNNs. In this work, we comprehensively investigated the existing design concepts, rethink the functional characteristics of two pointwise convolutions in the inverted residuals. We propose a novel design, called asymmetrical bottlenecks. Precisely, we adjust the first pointwise convolution dimension, enrich the information flow by feature reuse, and migrate saved computations to the second pointwise convolution. By doing so we can further improve the accuracy without increasing the computation overhead. The asymmetrical bottlenecks can be adopted as a drop-in replacement for the existing CNN blocks. We can thus create AsymmNet by easily stack those blocks according to proper depth and width conditions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our proposed block design is more beneficial than the original inverted residual bottlenecks for mobile networks, especially useful for those ultralight CNNs within the regime of <220M MAdds.

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made great breakthroughs in 2D computer vision. However, the irregular structure of meshes makes it hard to exploit the power of CNNs directly. A subdivision surface provides a hierarchical multi-resolution s
tructure, and each face in a closed 2-manifold triangle mesh is exactly adjacent to three faces. Motivated by these two properties, this paper introduces a novel and flexible CNN framework, named SubdivNet, for 3D triangle meshes with Loop subdivision sequence connectivity. Making an analogy between mesh faces and pixels in a 2D image allows us to present a mesh convolution operator to aggregate local features from adjacent faces. By exploiting face neighborhoods, this convolution can support standard 2D convolutional network concepts, e.g. variable kernel size, stride, and dilation. Based on the multi-resolution hierarchy, we propose a spatial uniform pooling layer which merges four faces into one and an upsampling method which splits one face into four. As a result, many popular 2D CNN architectures can be readily adapted to processing 3D meshes. Meshes with arbitrary connectivity can be remeshed to hold Loop subdivision sequence connectivity via self-parameterization, making SubdivNet a general approach. Experiments on mesh classification, segmentation, correspondence, and retrieval from the real-world demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of SubdivNet.
Due to the imperfect person detection results and posture changes, temporal appearance misalignment is unavoidable in video-based person re-identification (ReID). In this case, 3D convolution may destroy the appearance representation of person video
clips, thus it is harmful to ReID. To address this problem, we propose AppearancePreserving 3D Convolution (AP3D), which is composed of two components: an Appearance-Preserving Module (APM) and a 3D convolution kernel. With APM aligning the adjacent feature maps in pixel level, the following 3D convolution can model temporal information on the premise of maintaining the appearance representation quality. It is easy to combine AP3D with existing 3D ConvNets by simply replacing the original 3D convolution kernels with AP3Ds. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of AP3D for video-based ReID and the results on three widely used datasets surpass the state-of-the-arts.

LiDAR point clouds collected from a moving vehicle are functions of its trajectories, because the sensor motion needs to be compensated to avoid distortions. When autonomous vehicles are sending LiDAR point clouds to deep networks for perception and
planning, could the motion compensation consequently become a wide-open backdoor in those networks, due to both the adversarial vulnerability of deep learning and GPS-based vehicle trajectory estimation that is susceptible to wireless spoofing? We demonstrate such possibilities for the first time: instead of directly attacking point cloud coordinates which requires tampering with the raw LiDAR readings, only adversarial spoofing of a self-driving cars trajectory with small perturbations is enough to make safety-critical objects undetectable or detected with incorrect positions. Moreover, polynomial trajectory perturbation is developed to achieve a temporally-smooth and highly-imperceptible attack. Extensive experiments on 3D object detection have shown that such attacks not only lower the performance of the state-of-the-art detectors effectively, but also transfer to other detectors, raising a red flag for the community.
