• Abstract: 3D object detection from a single image is an important task in Autonomous Driving (AD), where various approaches have been proposed. However, the task is intrinsically ambiguous and challenging as single image depth estimation is already an ill-posed problem. In this paper, we propose an instance-aware approach to aggregate useful information for improving the accuracy of 3D object detection with the following contributions. First, an instance-aware feature aggregation (IAFA) module is proposed to collect local and global features for 3D bounding boxes regression. Second, we empirically find that the spatial attention module can be well learned by taking coarse-level instance annotations as a supervision signal. The proposed module has significantly boosted the performance of the baseline method on both 3D detection and 2D bird-eye's view of vehicle detection among all three categories. Third, our proposed method outperforms all single image-based approaches (even these methods trained with depth as auxiliary inputs) and achieves state-of-the-art 3D detection performance on the KITTI benchmark.

  This paper proposes a novel Supervised Shape&Scale-perceptive Deformable Attention'' (S$3$-DA) module for monocular 3D object detection. Benefiting from this, S$3$-DA effectively estimates receptive fields for query points belonging to any category, enabling them to generate robust query features. Experiments on KITTI and Open datasets demonstrate that S$3$-DA significantly improves the detection accuracy.

  We propose a novel approach called SOGDet (Semantic-Occupancy Guided Multi-view 3D Object Detection) to improve the accuracy of 3D object detection. Our results show that SOGDet consistently enhance the performance of three baseline methods in terms of nuScenes Detection Score (NDS) and mean Average Precision (mAP) This indicates that the combination of 3D object detection and 3D semantic occupancy leads to a more comprehensive perception of the 3D environment, thereby aiding build more robust autonomous driving systems.

  Painting Adaptive Instance-prior for 3D object detection (PAI3D) is a sequential instance-level fusion framework. It first extracts instance-level semantic information from images. Extracted information, including objects categorical label, point-to-object membership and object position, are then used to augment each LiDAR point in the subsequent 3D detection network.

  We propose a novel set abstraction method named Semantics-Augmented Set Abstraction (SASA) Based on the estimated point-wise foreground scores, we then propose a semantics-guided point sampling algorithm to help retain more important foreground points during down-sampling. In practice, SASA shows to be effective in identifying valuable points related to foreground objects and improving feature learning for point-based 3D detection.

  Existing methods tackle the problem in two steps: first depth estimation is performed, a pseudo LiDAR point cloud representation is computed from the depth estimates, and then object detection is performed in 3D space. We propose a model that unifies these two tasks in the same metric space. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on the challenging KITTI benchmark, with significantly reduced inference time compared with existing methods.

• Reinforced Axial Refinement Network for Monocular 3D Object Detection [160.34246529816085]
  Monocular 3D object detection aims to extract the 3D position and properties of objects from a 2D input image. Conventional approaches sample 3D bounding boxes from the space and infer the relationship between the target object and each of them, however, the probability of effective samples is relatively small in the 3D space. We propose to start with an initial prediction and refine it gradually towards the ground truth, with only one 3d parameter changed in each step. This requires designing a policy which gets a reward after several steps, and thus we adopt reinforcement learning to optimize it.
