• Title: Localization Is All You Evaluate: Data Leakage in Online Mapping Datasets and How to Fix It
• Authors: Adam Lilja, Junsheng Fu, Erik Stenborg, Lars Hammarstrand,
• Abstract summary: State-of-the-art methods are trained predominantly using nuScenes and Argoverse 2 datasets. Over $80$% of nuScenes and $40$% of Argoverse 2 validation and test samples are less than $5$ m from a training sample. We propose geographically disjoint data splits to reveal the true performance in unseen environments.

• Abstract: The task of online mapping is to predict a local map using current sensor observations, e.g. from lidar and camera, without relying on a pre-built map. State-of-the-art methods are based on supervised learning and are trained predominantly using two datasets: nuScenes and Argoverse 2. However, these datasets revisit the same geographic locations across training, validation, and test sets. Specifically, over $80$% of nuScenes and $40$% of Argoverse 2 validation and test samples are less than $5$ m from a training sample. At test time, the methods are thus evaluated more on how well they localize within a memorized implicit map built from the training data than on extrapolating to unseen locations. Naturally, this data leakage causes inflated performance numbers and we propose geographically disjoint data splits to reveal the true performance in unseen environments. Experimental results show that methods perform considerably worse, some dropping more than $45$ mAP, when trained and evaluated on proper data splits. Additionally, a reassessment of prior design choices reveals diverging conclusions from those based on the original split. Notably, the impact of lifting methods and the support from auxiliary tasks (e.g., depth supervision) on performance appears less substantial or follows a different trajectory than previously perceived.

  We propose a downstream-pretext domain knowledge traceback (DOKT) method that traces the data interactions of downstream knowledge and pre-training guidance. DOKT consists of a traceback diversity indicator and a domain-based uncertainty estimator. Experiments conducted on ten datasets show that our model outperforms other state-of-the-art methods.

  It is common to observe performance degradation when transferring models trained on some (source) datasets to target testing data due to a domain gap between them. We propose an online test-time adaptation method for depth completion, the task of inferring a dense depth map from a single image and associated sparse depth map, that closes the performance gap in a single pass.
