• Abstract summary: We release a Large-Scale Object Detection benchmark for Autonomous driving, named as SODA10M, containing 10 million unlabeled images and 20K images labeled with 6 representative object categories. To improve diversity, the images are collected every ten seconds per frame within 32 different cities under different weather conditions, periods and location scenes. We provide extensive experiments and deep analyses of existing supervised state-of-the-art detection models, popular self-supervised and semi-supervised approaches, and some insights about how to develop future models.

• Abstract: Aiming at facilitating a real-world, ever-evolving and scalable autonomous driving system, we present a large-scale benchmark for standardizing the evaluation of different self-supervised and semi-supervised approaches by learning from raw data, which is the first and largest benchmark to date. Existing autonomous driving systems heavily rely on `perfect' visual perception models (e.g., detection) trained using extensive annotated data to ensure the safety. However, it is unrealistic to elaborately label instances of all scenarios and circumstances (e.g., night, extreme weather, cities) when deploying a robust autonomous driving system. Motivated by recent powerful advances of self-supervised and semi-supervised learning, a promising direction is to learn a robust detection model by collaboratively exploiting large-scale unlabeled data and few labeled data. Existing dataset (e.g., KITTI, Waymo) either provides only a small amount of data or covers limited domains with full annotation, hindering the exploration of large-scale pre-trained models. Here, we release a Large-Scale Object Detection benchmark for Autonomous driving, named as SODA10M, containing 10 million unlabeled images and 20K images labeled with 6 representative object categories. To improve diversity, the images are collected every ten seconds per frame within 32 different cities under different weather conditions, periods and location scenes. We provide extensive experiments and deep analyses of existing supervised state-of-the-art detection models, popular self-supervised and semi-supervised approaches, and some insights about how to develop future models.

  We introduce a real-time semi-supervised vehicle monitoring framework tailored to urban settings. It requires only a small fraction of manual labels for initial training and exploits unlabeled data for model improvement. We propose a novel prior loss that incorporates the shapes of vehicular traces to track a single vehicle with varying speeds.

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.
