• Abstract summary: Fast stereo based 3D object detectors lag far behind high-precision oriented methods in accuracy. We argue that the main reason is the missing or poor 3D geometry feature representation in fast stereo based methods. The proposed EGFN outperforms YOLOStsereo3D, the advanced fast method, by 5.16% on mAP$_3d$ at the cost of merely additional 12 ms.

• Abstract: Fast stereo based 3D object detectors have made great progress in the sense of inference time recently. However, they lag far behind high-precision oriented methods in accuracy. We argue that the main reason is the missing or poor 3D geometry feature representation in fast stereo based methods. To solve this problem, we propose an efficient geometry feature generation network (EGFN). The key of our EGFN is an efficient and effective 3D geometry feature representation (EGFR) module. In the EGFR module, light-weight cost volume features are firstly generated, then are efficiently converted into 3D space, and finally multi-scale features enhancement in in both image and 3D spaces is conducted to obtain the 3D geometry features: enhanced light-weight voxel features. In addition, we introduce a novel multi-scale knowledge distillation strategy to guide multi-scale 3D geometry features learning. Experimental results on the public KITTI test set shows that the proposed EGFN outperforms YOLOStsereo3D, the advanced fast method, by 5.16\% on mAP$_{3d}$ at the cost of merely additional 12 ms and hence achieves a better trade-off between accuracy and efficiency for stereo 3D object detection. Our code will be publicly available.

  We introduce Any2Point, a parameter-efficient method to empower any-modality large models (vision, language, audio) for 3D understanding.

  We learn a regular grid of 3D voxel features from the input image which is aligned with 3D scene space via a 3D feature lifting operator. Based on the 3D voxel features, our novel CenterNet-3D detection head formulates the 3D detection as keypoint detection in the 3D space. We devise an efficient coarse-to-fine reconstruction module, including coarse-level voxelization and a novel local PCA-SDF shape representation.

  Most successful 3D detectors take the projection constraint from the 3D bounding box to the 2D box as an important component. Our method predicts the nine perspective keypoints of a 3D bounding box in image space, and then utilize the geometric relationship of 3D and 2D perspectives to recover the dimension, location, and orientation in 3D space. Our method is the first real-time system for monocular image 3D detection while achieves state-of-the-art performance on the KITTI benchmark.
