• Abstract summary: We propose SparseDet for end-to-end 3D object detection from point cloud. As a new detection paradigm, SparseDet maintains a fixed set of learnable proposals to represent latent candidates. SparseDet achieves highly competitive detection accuracy while running with a more efficient speed of 34.5 FPS.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose SparseDet for end-to-end 3D object detection from point cloud. Existing works on 3D object detection rely on dense object candidates over all locations in a 3D or 2D grid following the mainstream methods for object detection in 2D images. However, this dense paradigm requires expertise in data to fulfill the gap between label and detection. As a new detection paradigm, SparseDet maintains a fixed set of learnable proposals to represent latent candidates and directly perform classification and localization for 3D objects through stacked transformers. It demonstrates that effective 3D object detection can be achieved with none of post-processing such as redundant removal and non-maximum suppression. With a properly designed network, SparseDet achieves highly competitive detection accuracy while running with a more efficient speed of 34.5 FPS. We believe this end-to-end paradigm of SparseDet will inspire new thinking on the sparsity of 3D object detection.

  False negatives (FN) in 3D object detection can lead to potentially dangerous situations in autonomous driving. In this work, we propose Hard Instance Probing (HIP), a general pipeline that identifies textitFN in a multi-stage manner. We instantiate this method as FocalFormer3D, a simple yet effective detector that excels at excavating difficult objects.

  3D object detection aims to detect and localize the 3D bounding boxes of objects belonging to specific classes. Existing 3D object detectors rely on annotated 3D bounding boxes during training, while these annotations could be expensive to obtain and only accessible in limited scenarios. We propose VS3D, a framework for weakly supervised 3D object detection from point clouds without using any ground truth 3D bounding box for training.
