• Abstract: Object detection and tracking is a key task in autonomy. Specifically, 3D object detection and tracking have been an emerging hot topic recently. Although various methods have been proposed for object detection, uncertainty in the 3D detection and tracking tasks has been less explored. Uncertainty helps us tackle the error in the perception system and improve robustness. In this paper, we propose a method for improving target tracking performance by adding uncertainty regression to the SECOND detector, which is one of the most representative algorithms of 3D object detection. Our method estimates positional and dimensional uncertainties with Gaussian Negative Log-Likelihood (NLL) Loss for estimation and introduces von-Mises NLL Loss for angular uncertainty estimation. We fed the uncertainty output into a classical object tracking framework and proved that our method increased the tracking performance compared against the vanilla tracker with constant covariance assumption.

  We introduce a framework for quantifying uncertainty in 3D object detection by leveraging an evidential learning loss on Bird's Eye View representations in the 3D detector. We demonstrate both the efficacy and importance of these uncertainty estimates on identifying out-of-distribution scenes, poorly localized objects, and missing (false negative) detections.

  Unsupervised 3D object detection aims to identify objects of interest from unlabeled raw data, such as LiDAR points. Recent approaches usually adopt pseudo 3D bounding boxes (3D bboxes) from clustering algorithm to initialize the model training. We introduce a new uncertainty-aware framework for unsupervised 3D object detection, dubbed UA3D.

  3D multiple object tracking (MOT) plays a crucial role in autonomous driving perception. Recent end-to-end query-based trackers simultaneously detect and track objects, which have shown promising potential for the 3D MOT task. Existing methods overlook the uncertainty issue, which refers to the lack of precise confidence about the state and location of tracked objects. We propose an Uncertainty-Aware 3D MOT framework, UA-Track, which tackles the uncertainty problem from multiple aspects.

  In this paper, we formulate the label uncertainty problem as the diversity of potentially plausible bounding boxes of objects. We propose GLENet, a generative framework adapted from conditional variational autoencoders, to model the one-to-many relationship between a typical 3D object and its potential ground-truth bounding boxes with latent variables. The label uncertainty generated by GLENet is a plug-and-play module and can be conveniently integrated into existing deep 3D detectors.
