• Title: Corner Cases for Visual Perception in Automated Driving: Some Guidance on Detection Approaches
• Authors: Jasmin Breitenstein and Jan-Aike Term\"ohlen and Daniel Lipinski and Tim Fingscheidt
• Abstract summary: Corner cases are unexpected and unknown situations that occur while driving. Their detection is highly safety-critical, and detection methods can be applied to vast amounts of collected data to select suitable training data. In this work, we continue a previous systematization of corner cases on different levels by an extended set of examples for each level.

• Abstract: Automated driving has become a major topic of interest not only in the active research community but also in mainstream media reports. Visual perception of such intelligent vehicles has experienced large progress in the last decade thanks to advances in deep learning techniques but some challenges still remain. One such challenge is the detection of corner cases. They are unexpected and unknown situations that occur while driving. Conventional visual perception methods are often not able to detect them because corner cases have not been witnessed during training. Hence, their detection is highly safety-critical, and detection methods can be applied to vast amounts of collected data to select suitable training data. A reliable detection of corner cases will not only further automate the data selection procedure and increase safety in autonomous driving but can thereby also affect the public acceptance of the new technology in a positive manner. In this work, we continue a previous systematization of corner cases on different levels by an extended set of examples for each level. Moreover, we group detection approaches into different categories and link them with the corner case levels. Hence, we give directions to showcase specific corner cases and basic guidelines on how to technically detect them.

  We introduce a challenging dataset named CODA that exposes this critical problem of vision-based detectors. The performance of standard object detectors trained on large-scale autonomous driving datasets significantly drops to no more than 12.8% in mAR. We experiment with the state-of-the-art open-world object detector and find that it also fails to reliably identify the novel objects in CODA.

  State-of-the-art 3D object detectors, based on deep learning, have shown promising accuracy but are prone to over-fit to domain idiosyncrasies. We propose a novel learning approach that drastically reduces this gap by fine-tuning the detector on pseudo-labels in the target domain. We show, on five autonomous driving datasets, that fine-tuning the detector on these pseudo-labels substantially reduces the domain gap to new driving environments.
