• Abstract: Learned object detection methods based on fusion of LiDAR and camera data require labeled training samples, but niche applications, such as warehouse robotics or automated infrastructure, require semantic classes not available in large existing datasets. Therefore, to facilitate the rapid creation of multimodal object detection datasets and alleviate the burden of human labeling, we propose a novel automated annotation pipeline. Our method uses an indoor positioning system (IPS) to produce accurate detection labels for both point clouds and images and eliminates manual annotation entirely. In an experiment, the system annotates objects of interest 261.8 times faster than a human baseline and speeds up end-to-end dataset creation by 61.5%.

  This paper presents DART, an automated end-to-end pipeline that revolutionizes object detection from data collection to model evaluation. It eliminates the need for human labeling and extensive data collection while achieving outstanding accuracy across diverse scenarios. The current instantiation of DART significantly increases average precision (AP) from 0.064 to 0.832.

  This paper proposes a video object-centric model for multiple-object tracking pipelines. It consists of an index-merge module that adapts the object-centric slots into detection outputs and an object memory module. Benefited from object-centric learning, we only require sparse detection labels for object localization and feature binding.

  It is challenging to train a robust object detector when annotated data is scarce.

We introduce an offline data augmentation method for object detection, which semantically interpolates the training data with novel views.

  We propose a method to automatically generate training labels (called pseudo-labels) for 2D LiDAR-based person detectors. We show that self-supervised detectors, trained or fine-tuned with pseudo-labels, outperform detectors trained using manual annotations. Our method is an effective way to improve person detectors during deployment without any additional labeling effort.
