• Abstract summary: This paper proposes a monocular 3D detection model designed to perceive twin depth in adverse scenes, termed MonoTDP. We first introduce an adaptive learning strategy to aid the model in handling uncontrollable weather conditions, significantly resisting degradation caused by various degrading factors. Then, to address the depth/content loss in adverse regions, we propose a novel twin depth perception module that simultaneously estimates scene and object depth.

• Abstract: 3D object detection plays a crucial role in numerous intelligent vision systems. Detection in the open world inevitably encounters various adverse scenes, such as dense fog, heavy rain, and low light conditions. Although existing efforts primarily focus on diversifying network architecture or training schemes, resulting in significant progress in 3D object detection, most of these learnable modules fail in adverse scenes, thereby hindering detection performance. To address this issue, this paper proposes a monocular 3D detection model designed to perceive twin depth in adverse scenes, termed MonoTDP, which effectively mitigates the degradation of detection performance in various harsh environments. Specifically, we first introduce an adaptive learning strategy to aid the model in handling uncontrollable weather conditions, significantly resisting degradation caused by various degrading factors. Then, to address the depth/content loss in adverse regions, we propose a novel twin depth perception module that simultaneously estimates scene and object depth, enabling the integration of scene-level features and object-level features. Additionally, we assemble a new adverse 3D object detection dataset encompassing a wide range of challenging scenes, including rainy, foggy, and low light weather conditions, with each type of scene containing 7,481 images. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms current state-of-the-art approaches by an average of 3.12% in terms of AP_R40 for car category across various adverse environments.

  Existing offboard 3D detectors always follow a modular pipeline design to take advantage of unlimited sequential point clouds. We have found that the full potential of offboard 3D detectors is not explored mainly due to two reasons: (1) the onboard multi-object tracker cannot generate sufficient complete object trajectories, and (2) the motion state of objects poses an inevitable challenge for the object-centric refining stage. To tackle these problems, we propose a novel paradigm of offboard 3D object detection, named DetZero.

• Reinforced Axial Refinement Network for Monocular 3D Object Detection [160.34246529816085]
  Monocular 3D object detection aims to extract the 3D position and properties of objects from a 2D input image. Conventional approaches sample 3D bounding boxes from the space and infer the relationship between the target object and each of them, however, the probability of effective samples is relatively small in the 3D space. We propose to start with an initial prediction and refine it gradually towards the ground truth, with only one 3d parameter changed in each step. This requires designing a policy which gets a reward after several steps, and thus we adopt reinforcement learning to optimize it.
