• Authors: Thomas Kreutz, Max M\"uhlh\"auser, and Alejandro Sanchez Guinea
• Abstract summary: We address the problem of unsupervised moving object segmentation (MOS) in 4D LiDAR data recorded from a stationary sensor, where no ground truth annotations are involved. We propose a novel 4D LiDAR representation based on a time series that relaxes the problem of unsupervised MOS. Experiments on stationary scenes from the Raw KITTI dataset show that our fully unsupervised approach achieves performance that is comparable to that of supervised state-of-the-art approaches.

• Abstract: In this work, we address the problem of unsupervised moving object segmentation (MOS) in 4D LiDAR data recorded from a stationary sensor, where no ground truth annotations are involved. Deep learning-based state-of-the-art methods for LiDAR MOS strongly depend on annotated ground truth data, which is expensive to obtain and scarce in existence. To close this gap in the stationary setting, we propose a novel 4D LiDAR representation based on multivariate time series that relaxes the problem of unsupervised MOS to a time series clustering problem. More specifically, we propose modeling the change in occupancy of a voxel by a multivariate occupancy time series (MOTS), which captures spatio-temporal occupancy changes on the voxel level and its surrounding neighborhood. To perform unsupervised MOS, we train a neural network in a self-supervised manner to encode MOTS into voxel-level feature representations, which can be partitioned by a clustering algorithm into moving or stationary. Experiments on stationary scenes from the Raw KITTI dataset show that our fully unsupervised approach achieves performance that is comparable to that of supervised state-of-the-art approaches.

  Motion2VecSets is a 4D diffusion model for dynamic surface reconstruction from point cloud sequences. We parameterize 4D dynamics with latent sets instead of using global latent codes. For more temporally-coherent object tracking, we synchronously denoise deformation latent sets and exchange information across multiple frames.

  Unsupervised change detection between airborne LiDAR data points is difficult due to unmatching spatial support and noise from the acquisition system. We propose an unsupervised approach based on the computation of the transport of 3D LiDAR points over two temporal supports. Our method allows for unsupervised multi-class classification and outperforms the previous state-of-the-art unsupervised approaches by a significant margin.
