• Abstract summary: This work proposes a novel autolabeler, called multimodal attention point generator (MAP-Gen), that generates high-quality 3D labels from weak 2D boxes. Using MAP-Gen, object detection networks that are weakly supervised by 2D boxes can achieve 9499% performance of those fully supervised by 3D annotations.

• Abstract: Manually annotating 3D point clouds is laborious and costly, limiting the training data preparation for deep learning in real-world object detection. While a few previous studies tried to automatically generate 3D bounding boxes from weak labels such as 2D boxes, the quality is sub-optimal compared to human annotators. This work proposes a novel autolabeler, called multimodal attention point generator (MAP-Gen), that generates high-quality 3D labels from weak 2D boxes. It leverages dense image information to tackle the sparsity issue of 3D point clouds, thus improving label quality. For each 2D pixel, MAP-Gen predicts its corresponding 3D coordinates by referencing context points based on their 2D semantic or geometric relationships. The generated 3D points densify the original sparse point clouds, followed by an encoder to regress 3D bounding boxes. Using MAP-Gen, object detection networks that are weakly supervised by 2D boxes can achieve 94~99% performance of those fully supervised by 3D annotations. It is hopeful this newly proposed MAP-Gen autolabeling flow can shed new light on utilizing multimodal information for enriching sparse point clouds.

  We propose a framework to study how to leverage constraints between 2D and 3D domains without requiring any 3D labels. Specifically, we design a feature-level constraint to align LiDAR and image features based on object-aware regions. Second, the output-level constraint is developed to enforce the overlap between 2D and projected 3D box estimations. Third, the training-level constraint is utilized by producing accurate and consistent 3D pseudo-labels that align with the visual data.

With a multi-task design, MTrans segments the foreground/background, densifies LiDAR point clouds, and regresses 3D boxes simultaneously. By enriching the sparse point clouds, our method achieves 4.48% and 4.03% better 3D AP on KITTI moderate and hard samples, respectively.

In particular, we first generate an initial mesh using a 3D convolutional neural network with 3D self-prior, and then encode both 3D information and color information in the 2D UV atlas. Our method recovers the 3D textured mesh model of high quality from sparse input, and outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in terms of both the geometry and texture quality.
