• Abstract: Using synthesized images to boost the performance of perception models is a long-standing research challenge in computer vision. It becomes more eminent in visual-centric autonomous driving systems with multi-view cameras as some long-tail scenarios can never be collected. Guided by the BEV segmentation layouts, the existing generative networks seem to synthesize photo-realistic street-view images when evaluated solely on scene-level metrics. However, once zoom-in, they usually fail to produce accurate foreground and background details such as heading. To this end, we propose a two-stage generative method, dubbed BEVControl, that can generate accurate foreground and background contents. In contrast to segmentation-like input, it also supports sketch style input, which is more flexible for humans to edit. In addition, we propose a comprehensive multi-level evaluation protocol to fairly compare the quality of the generated scene, foreground object, and background geometry. Our extensive experiments show that our BEVControl surpasses the state-of-the-art method, BEVGen, by a significant margin, from 5.89 to 26.80 on foreground segmentation mIoU. In addition, we show that using images generated by BEVControl to train the downstream perception model, it achieves on average 1.29 improvement in NDS score.

  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.

  It is essential to produce perception outputs in 3D to enable the spatial reasoning of other agents and structures. The most basic approach to achieving the desired BEV representation from a camera image is IPM, assuming a flat ground surface. More recent approaches use deep neural networks to output directly in BEV space.

  We tackle a new problem of multi-view camera and subject registration in the bird's eye view (BEV) without pre-given camera calibration.

We propose an end-to-end framework solving this problem, whose main idea can be divided into following parts.

  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.
