• Title: Abstract Flow for Temporal Semantic Segmentation on the Permutohedral Lattice
• Authors: Peer Sch\"utt, Radu Alexandru Rosu and Sven Behnke
• Abstract summary: We extend a backbone LatticeNet to process temporal point cloud data. We propose a new module called Abstract Flow which allows the network to match parts of the scene with similar abstract features. We obtain state-of-the-art results on the Semantic KITTI dataset that contains LiDAR scans from real urban environments.

• Abstract: Semantic segmentation is a core ability required by autonomous agents, as being able to distinguish which parts of the scene belong to which object class is crucial for navigation and interaction with the environment. Approaches which use only one time-step of data cannot distinguish between moving objects nor can they benefit from temporal integration. In this work, we extend a backbone LatticeNet to process temporal point cloud data. Additionally, we take inspiration from optical flow methods and propose a new module called Abstract Flow which allows the network to match parts of the scene with similar abstract features and gather the information temporally. We obtain state-of-the-art results on the SemanticKITTI dataset that contains LiDAR scans from real urban environments. We share the PyTorch implementation of TemporalLatticeNet at https://github.com/AIS-Bonn/temporal_latticenet .

  We propose global attentive flow embedding to match all-to-all point pairs in both Euclidean space.

  Self-supervised methods have shown remarkable progress in learning high-level semantics and low-level temporal correspondence. We propose a novel semantic-aware masked slot attention on top of the fused semantic features and correspondence maps. We adopt semantic- and instance-level temporal consistency as self-supervision to encourage temporally coherent object-centric representations.

  Moving object segmentation (MOS) in dynamic scenes is an important, challenging, but under-explored research topic for autonomous driving. Most segmentation methods leverage motion cues obtained from optical flow maps. We propose to exploit event cameras for better video understanding, which provide rich motion cues without relying on optical flow.
