• Abstract summary: We propose a manual-label free 3D detection algorithm that leverages the CARLA simulator to generate a large amount of self-labeled training samples. Domain Adaptive VoxelNet (DA-VoxelNet) can cross the distribution gap from the synthetic data to the real scenario. Experimental results show that the proposed unsupervised DA 3D detector can achieve 76.66% and 56.64% mAP on KITTI evaluation set.

• Abstract: LiDAR based 3D object detectors typically need a large amount of detailed-labeled point cloud data for training, but these detailed labels are commonly expensive to acquire. In this paper, we propose a manual-label free 3D detection algorithm that leverages the CARLA simulator to generate a large amount of self-labeled training samples and introduces a novel Domain Adaptive VoxelNet (DA-VoxelNet) that can cross the distribution gap from the synthetic data to the real scenario. The self-labeled training samples are generated by a set of high quality 3D models embedded in a CARLA simulator and a proposed LiDAR-guided sampling algorithm. Then a DA-VoxelNet that integrates both a sample-level DA module and an anchor-level DA module is proposed to enable the detector trained by the synthetic data to adapt to real scenario. Experimental results show that the proposed unsupervised DA 3D detector on KITTI evaluation set can achieve 76.66% and 56.64% mAP on BEV mode and 3D mode respectively. The results reveal a promising perspective of training a LIDAR-based 3D detector without any hand-tagged label.

  3D object detection models trained on a source dataset with a specific point distribution have shown difficulties in generalizing to unseen datasets. We leverage the information available from several annotated source datasets with our Multi-Dataset Training for 3D Object Detection (MDT3D) method. We show how we managed the mix of datasets during training and finally introduce a new cross-dataset augmentation method: cross-dataset object injection.

  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.

  This paper presents a new approach to boost a single-modality (LiDAR) 3D object detector by teaching it to simulate features and responses that follow a multi-modality (LiDAR-image) detector. The approach needs LiDAR-image data only when training the single-modality detector, and once well-trained, it only needs LiDAR data at inference. Experimental results on the nuScenes dataset show that our approach outperforms all SOTA LiDAR-only 3D detectors.
