• Abstract: We present a novel bird's-eye-view (BEV) detector with perspective supervision, which converges faster and better suits modern image backbones. Existing state-of-the-art BEV detectors are often tied to certain depth pre-trained backbones like VoVNet, hindering the synergy between booming image backbones and BEV detectors. To address this limitation, we prioritize easing the optimization of BEV detectors by introducing perspective space supervision. To this end, we propose a two-stage BEV detector, where proposals from the perspective head are fed into the bird's-eye-view head for final predictions. To evaluate the effectiveness of our model, we conduct extensive ablation studies focusing on the form of supervision and the generality of the proposed detector. The proposed method is verified with a wide spectrum of traditional and modern image backbones and achieves new SoTA results on the large-scale nuScenes dataset. The code shall be released soon.

  Camera-only Bird's Eye View (BEV) has demonstrated great potential in environment perception in a 3D space. Unsupervised domain adaptive BEV, which effective learning from various unlabelled target data, is far under-explored. We design DA-BEV, the first domain adaptive camera-only BEV framework that addresses domain adaptive BEV challenges by exploiting the complementary nature of image-view features and BEV features.

  transformer-based detectors have demonstrated remarkable performance in 2D visual perception tasks. However, their performance in multi-view 3D object detection remains inferior to the state-of-the-art (SOTA) of convolutional neural network based detectors. We propose a novel BEV feature generation method, dual-view attention, which generates attention weights from both the BEV and camera view.

  We propose the first self-supervised approach for generating a Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) semantic map using a single monocular image from the frontal view (FV) In training, we overcome the need for BEV ground truth annotations by leveraging the more easily available FV semantic annotations of video sequences. Our approach performs on par with the state-of-the-art fully supervised methods and achieves competitive results using only 1% of direct supervision in the BEV.

• Delving into the Devils of Bird's-eye-view Perception: A Review, Evaluation and Recipe [115.31507979199564]
  Learning powerful representations in bird's-eye-view (BEV) for perception tasks is trending and drawing extensive attention both from industry and academia. As sensor configurations get more complex, integrating multi-source information from different sensors and representing features in a unified view come of vital importance. The core problems for BEV perception lie in (a) how to reconstruct the lost 3D information via view transformation from perspective view to BEV; (b) how to acquire ground truth annotations in BEV grid; and (d) how to adapt and generalize algorithms as sensor configurations vary across different scenarios.
