• Abstract: In recent years, significant progress has been achieved for 3D object detection on point clouds thanks to the advances in 3D data collection and deep learning techniques. Nevertheless, 3D scenes exhibit a lot of variations and are prone to sensor inaccuracies as well as information loss during pre-processing. Thus, it is crucial to design techniques that are robust against these variations. This requires a detailed analysis and understanding of the effect of such variations. This work aims to analyze and benchmark popular point-based 3D object detectors against several data corruptions. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to investigate the robustness of point-based 3D object detectors. To this end, we design and evaluate corruptions that involve data addition, reduction, and alteration. We further study the robustness of different modules against local and global variations. Our experimental results reveal several intriguing findings. For instance, we show that methods that integrate Transformers at a patch or object level lead to increased robustness, compared to using Transformers at the point level.

  This paper proposes a novel "Supervised Scale-aware Deformable Attention" (SSDA) for monocular 3D object detection. Imposing the scale awareness, SSDA could well predict the accurate receptive field of an object query. SSDA significantly improves the detection accuracy, especially on moderate and hard objects.

We conduct a thorough analysis to reveal how existing methods fail to robustly estimate depth when different geometry shifts occur. We convert the aforementioned manipulations into four corresponding 3D-aware data augmentation techniques.
