• Abstract: Detecting dynamic objects and predicting static road information such as drivable areas and ground heights are crucial for safe autonomous driving. Previous works studied each perception task separately, and lacked a collective quantitative analysis. In this work, we show that it is possible to perform all perception tasks via a simple and efficient multi-task network. Our proposed network, LidarMTL, takes raw LiDAR point cloud as inputs, and predicts six perception outputs for 3D object detection and road understanding. The network is based on an encoder-decoder architecture with 3D sparse convolution and deconvolution operations. Extensive experiments verify the proposed method with competitive accuracies compared to state-of-the-art object detectors and other task-specific networks. LidarMTL is also leveraged for online localization. Code and pre-trained model have been made available at https://github.com/frankfengdi/LidarMTL.

  This paper proposes a novel unified representation, RepVF, which harmonizes the representation of various perception tasks. RepVF characterizes the structure of different targets in the scene through a vector field, enabling a single-head, multi-task learning model. Building upon RepVF, we introduce RFTR, a network designed to exploit the inherent connections between different tasks.

  We present a real-time multi-task convolutional neural network for LiDAR-based object detection, semantics, and motion segmentation.

We achieve state-of-the-art results for two tasks, semantic and motion segmentation, and close to state-of-the-art performance for 3D object detection.

• ALSO: Automotive Lidar Self-supervision by Occupancy estimation [70.70557577874155]
  We propose a new self-supervised method for pre-training the backbone of deep perception models operating on point clouds. The core idea is to train the model on a pretext task which is the reconstruction of the surface on which the 3D points are sampled. The intuition is that if the network is able to reconstruct the scene surface, given only sparse input points, then it probably also captures some fragments of semantic information.
