• Abstract: 3D object detection networks tend to be biased towards the data they are trained on. Evaluation on datasets captured in different locations, conditions or sensors than that of the training (source) data results in a drop in model performance due to the gap in distribution with the test (or target) data. Current methods for domain adaptation either assume access to source data during training, which may not be available due to privacy or memory concerns, or require a sequence of lidar frames as an input. We propose a single-frame approach for source-free, unsupervised domain adaptation of lidar-based 3D object detectors that uses class prototypes to mitigate the effect pseudo-label noise. Addressing the limitations of traditional feature aggregation methods for prototype computation in the presence of noisy labels, we utilize a transformer module to identify outlier ROI's that correspond to incorrect, over-confident annotations, and compute an attentive class prototype. Under an iterative training strategy, the losses associated with noisy pseudo labels are down-weighed and thus refined in the process of self-training. To validate the effectiveness of our proposed approach, we examine the domain shift associated with networks trained on large, label-rich datasets (such as the Waymo Open Dataset and nuScenes) and evaluate on smaller, label-poor datasets (such as KITTI) and vice-versa. We demonstrate our approach on two recent object detectors and achieve results that out-perform the other domain adaptation works.

  Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (UDA) is an effective approach to tackle the issue of domain shift. UDA methods try to align the source and target representations to improve the generalization on the target domain. The Source-Free Adaptation Domain (SFDA) setting aims to alleviate these concerns by adapting a source-trained model for the target domain without requiring access to the source data.

  Unsupervised adaptation adaptation (UDA) aims to transfer knowledge from a related but different well-labeled source domain to a new unlabeled target domain. Most existing UDA methods require access to the source data, and thus are not applicable when the data are confidential and not shareable due to privacy concerns. This paper aims to tackle a realistic setting with only a classification model available trained over, instead of accessing to the source data.
