• Abstract: Transferring knowledge learned from the labeled source domain to the raw target domain for unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is essential to the scalable deployment of autonomous driving systems. State-of-the-art methods in UDA often employ a key idea: utilizing joint supervision signals from both source and target domains for self-training. In this work, we improve and extend this aspect. We present ConDA, a concatenation-based domain adaptation framework for LiDAR segmentation that: 1) constructs an intermediate domain consisting of fine-grained interchange signals from both source and target domains without destabilizing the semantic coherency of objects and background around the ego-vehicle; and 2) utilizes the intermediate domain for self-training. To improve the network training on the source domain and self-training on the intermediate domain, we propose an anti-aliasing regularizer and an entropy aggregator to reduce the negative effect caused by the aliasing artifacts and noisy pseudo labels. Through extensive studies, we demonstrate that ConDA significantly outperforms prior arts in mitigating domain gaps.

  The term distant domain adaptation problem' describes the challenge of adapting from a labeled source domain to a significantly disparate unlabeled target domain. This problem exhibits the risk of negative transfer, where extraneous knowledge from the source domain adversely affects the target domain performance. In response to this challenge, we propose a novel Online Selective Adversarial Alignment (OSAA) approach.

  Cross-domain person re-identification (re-ID) aims to transfer the identity-discriminative knowledge from the source to the target domain. We propose an Intermediate Domain Module (IDM) and a Mirrors Generation Module (MGM) IDM generates multiple intermediate domains by mixing the hidden-layer features from source and target domains. MGM is introduced by mapping the features into the IDM-generated intermediate domains without changing their original identity.
