• Title: From Voxel to Point: IoU-guided 3D Object Detection for Point Cloud with Voxel-to-Point Decoder
• Authors: Jiale Li and Hang Dai and Ling Shao and Yong Ding
• Abstract summary: We present an Intersection-over-Union (IoU) guided two-stage 3D object detector with a voxel-to-point decoder. We propose a residual voxel-to-point decoder to extract the point features in addition to the map-view features from the voxel based Region Proposal Network (RPN) We propose a simple and efficient method to align the estimated IoUs to the refined proposal boxes as a more relevant localization confidence.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present an Intersection-over-Union (IoU) guided two-stage 3D object detector with a voxel-to-point decoder. To preserve the necessary information from all raw points and maintain the high box recall in voxel based Region Proposal Network (RPN), we propose a residual voxel-to-point decoder to extract the point features in addition to the map-view features from the voxel based RPN. We use a 3D Region of Interest (RoI) alignment to crop and align the features with the proposal boxes for accurately perceiving the object position. The RoI-Aligned features are finally aggregated with the corner geometry embeddings that can provide the potentially missing corner information in the box refinement stage. We propose a simple and efficient method to align the estimated IoUs to the refined proposal boxes as a more relevant localization confidence. The comprehensive experiments on KITTI and Waymo Open Dataset demonstrate that our method achieves significant improvements with novel architectures against the existing methods.

  textitVoxelKP is a novel fully sparse network architecture tailored for human keypoint estimation in LiDAR data.

  We present a novel two-stage fully sparse convolutional 3D object detection framework, named CAGroup3D. Our proposed method first generates some high-quality 3D proposals by leveraging the class-aware local group strategy on the object surface voxels. To recover the features of missed voxels due to incorrect voxel-wise segmentation, we build a fully sparse convolutional RoI pooling module.
