• Title: Learning Cascaded Detection Tasks with Weakly-Supervised Domain Adaptation
• Authors: Niklas Hanselmann, Nick Schneider, Benedikt Ortelt and Andreas Geiger
• Abstract summary: We propose a weakly supervised domain adaptation setting which exploits the structure of cascaded detection tasks. In particular, we learn to infer the attributes solely from the source domain while leveraging 2D bounding boxes as weak labels in both domains. As our experiments demonstrate, the approach is competitive with fully supervised settings while outperforming unsupervised adaptation approaches by a large margin.

• Abstract: In order to handle the challenges of autonomous driving, deep learning has proven to be crucial in tackling increasingly complex tasks, such as 3D detection or instance segmentation. State-of-the-art approaches for image-based detection tasks tackle this complexity by operating in a cascaded fashion: they first extract a 2D bounding box based on which additional attributes, e.g. instance masks, are inferred. While these methods perform well, a key challenge remains the lack of accurate and cheap annotations for the growing variety of tasks. Synthetic data presents a promising solution but, despite the effort in domain adaptation research, the gap between synthetic and real data remains an open problem. In this work, we propose a weakly supervised domain adaptation setting which exploits the structure of cascaded detection tasks. In particular, we learn to infer the attributes solely from the source domain while leveraging 2D bounding boxes as weak labels in both domains to explain the domain shift. We further encourage domain-invariant features through class-wise feature alignment using ground-truth class information, which is not available in the unsupervised setting. As our experiments demonstrate, the approach is competitive with fully supervised settings while outperforming unsupervised adaptation approaches by a large margin.

  Deep learning-based 3D object detection has achieved unprecedented success with the advent of large-scale autonomous driving datasets.

We study a more realistic setting, unsupervised 3D domain adaptive detection, which only utilizes source domain annotations.

  Unlabelled domain adaptive object detection aims to adapt detectors from a labelled source domain to an unsupervised target domain. adversarial learning may impair the alignment of well-aligned samples as it merely aligns the global distributions across domains. We design an uncertainty-aware domain adaptation network (UaDAN) that introduces conditional adversarial learning to align well-aligned and poorly-aligned samples separately.
