• Abstract summary: 3DUDA is a method capable of adapting to a nuisance-ridden target domain without 3D or depth data. We represent object categories as simple cuboid meshes, and harness a generative model of neural feature activations. We show that our method simulates fine-tuning on a global pseudo-labeled dataset under mild assumptions.

• Abstract: We consider the problem of source-free unsupervised category-level pose estimation from only RGB images to a target domain without any access to source domain data or 3D annotations during adaptation. Collecting and annotating real-world 3D data and corresponding images is laborious, expensive, yet unavoidable process, since even 3D pose domain adaptation methods require 3D data in the target domain. We introduce 3DUDA, a method capable of adapting to a nuisance-ridden target domain without 3D or depth data. Our key insight stems from the observation that specific object subparts remain stable across out-of-domain (OOD) scenarios, enabling strategic utilization of these invariant subcomponents for effective model updates. We represent object categories as simple cuboid meshes, and harness a generative model of neural feature activations modeled at each mesh vertex learnt using differential rendering. We focus on individual locally robust mesh vertex features and iteratively update them based on their proximity to corresponding features in the target domain even when the global pose is not correct. Our model is then trained in an EM fashion, alternating between updating the vertex features and the feature extractor. We show that our method simulates fine-tuning on a global pseudo-labeled dataset under mild assumptions, which converges to the target domain asymptotically. Through extensive empirical validation, including a complex extreme UDA setup which combines real nuisances, synthetic noise, and occlusion, we demonstrate the potency of our simple approach in addressing the domain shift challenge and significantly improving pose estimation accuracy.

  Traditional 3D networks mainly focus on local geometric details and ignore the topological structure between local geometries. We propose a novel Priors Distillation (RPD) method to extract priors from the well-trained transformers on massive images. Experiments on the PointDA-10 and the Sim-to-Real datasets verify that the proposed method consistently achieves the state-of-the-art performance of UDA for point cloud classification.

  LiDAR-based 3D Object Detection methods often do not generalize well to target domains outside the source (or training) data distribution. We introduce a novel unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) method, called CMDA, which leverages visual semantic cues from an image modality. We also introduce a self-training-based learning strategy, wherein a model is adversarially trained to generate domain-invariant features.
