• Title: SA-BEV: Generating Semantic-Aware Bird's-Eye-View Feature for Multi-view 3D Object Detection
• Authors: Jinqing Zhang, Yanan Zhang, Qingjie Liu, Yunhong Wang
• Abstract summary: We propose Semantic-Aware BEV Pooling (SA-BEVPool), which can filter out background information according to the semantic segmentation of image features. We also propose BEV-Paste, an effective data augmentation strategy that closely matches with semantic-aware BEV feature. Experiments on nuScenes show that SA-BEV achieves state-of-the-art performance.

• Abstract: Recently, the pure camera-based Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) perception provides a feasible solution for economical autonomous driving. However, the existing BEV-based multi-view 3D detectors generally transform all image features into BEV features, without considering the problem that the large proportion of background information may submerge the object information. In this paper, we propose Semantic-Aware BEV Pooling (SA-BEVPool), which can filter out background information according to the semantic segmentation of image features and transform image features into semantic-aware BEV features. Accordingly, we propose BEV-Paste, an effective data augmentation strategy that closely matches with semantic-aware BEV feature. In addition, we design a Multi-Scale Cross-Task (MSCT) head, which combines task-specific and cross-task information to predict depth distribution and semantic segmentation more accurately, further improving the quality of semantic-aware BEV feature. Finally, we integrate the above modules into a novel multi-view 3D object detection framework, namely SA-BEV. Experiments on nuScenes show that SA-BEV achieves state-of-the-art performance.

  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.

  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.

  Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) is superior to other 3D detectors for autonomous driving and robotics. transforming image features into BEV necessitates special operators to conduct feature sampling. We propose detecting objects in perspective BEV -- a new BEV representation that does not require feature sampling.
