• Abstract: 3D object detection has achieved remarkable progress by taking point clouds as the only input. However, point clouds often suffer from incomplete geometric structures and the lack of semantic information, which makes detectors hard to accurately classify detected objects. In this work, we focus on how to effectively utilize object-level information from images to boost the performance of point-based 3D detector. We present DeMF, a simple yet effective method to fuse image information into point features. Given a set of point features and image feature maps, DeMF adaptively aggregates image features by taking the projected 2D location of the 3D point as reference. We evaluate our method on the challenging SUN RGB-D dataset, improving state-of-the-art results by a large margin (+2.1 mAP@0.25 and +2.3mAP@0.5).

  LiDAR point clouds can effectively depict the motion and posture of objects in three-dimensional space. In autonomous driving scenarios, the sparsity and hollowness of point clouds create some difficulties for voxel-based methods. We propose a two-stage 3D object detection framework, called MS23D.

  LiDAR and camera fusion techniques are promising for achieving 3D object detection in autonomous driving. Most multi-modal 3D object detection frameworks integrate semantic knowledge from 2D images into 3D LiDAR point clouds. We propose a general multi-modal fusion framework Multi-Sem Fusion (MSF) to fuse the semantic information from both the 2D image and 3D points scene parsing results.

  LiDAR-produced point clouds are the major source for most state-of-the-art 3D object detectors. Small, distant, and incomplete objects with sparse or few points are often hard to detect. We present Sparse2Dense, a new framework to efficiently boost 3D detection performance by learning to densify point clouds in latent space.

  We propose a novel set abstraction method named Semantics-Augmented Set Abstraction (SASA) Based on the estimated point-wise foreground scores, we then propose a semantics-guided point sampling algorithm to help retain more important foreground points during down-sampling. In practice, SASA shows to be effective in identifying valuable points related to foreground objects and improving feature learning for point-based 3D detection.

  We develop a novel single-stage 3D detector for point clouds in an anchor-free manner. We overcome this by converting the voxel-based sparse 3D feature volumes into the sparse 2D feature maps. We propose an IoU-based detection confidence re-calibration scheme to improve the correlation between the detection confidence score and the accuracy of the bounding box regression.
