• Abstract: In this study, we address a gap in existing unsupervised domain adaptation approaches on LiDAR-based 3D object detection, which have predominantly concentrated on adapting between established, high-density autonomous driving datasets. We focus on sparser point clouds, capturing scenarios from different perspectives: not just from vehicles on the road but also from mobile robots on sidewalks, which encounter significantly different environmental conditions and sensor configurations. We introduce Unsupervised Adversarial Domain Adaptation for 3D Object Detection (UADA3D). UADA3D does not depend on pre-trained source models or teacher-student architectures. Instead, it uses an adversarial approach to directly learn domain-invariant features. We demonstrate its efficacy in various adaptation scenarios, showing significant improvements in both self-driving car and mobile robot domains. Our code is open-source and will be available soon.

  Existing domain adaptive 3D detection methods do not adequately consider the problem of the distributional discrepancy in feature space. In this work, we propose a novel unsupervised domain adaptive textbf3D detection framework, which explicitly leverages the intrinsic geometric relationship from point cloud objects to reduce the feature discrepancy. The evaluation results obtained on various benchmarks, including nuScenes and KITTI, demonstrate the superiority of our GPA-3D over the state-of-the-art approaches for different adaptation scenarios.

• Unsupervised Adaptation from Repeated Traversals for Autonomous Driving [54.59577283226982]
  Self-driving cars must generalize to the end-user's environment to operate reliably. One potential solution is to leverage unlabeled data collected from the end-users' environments. There is no reliable signal in the target domain to supervise the adaptation process. We show that this simple additional assumption is sufficient to obtain a potent signal that allows us to perform iterative self-training of 3D object detectors on the target domain.

  Deep learning-based 3D object detection has achieved unprecedented success with the advent of large-scale autonomous driving datasets. Existing 3D domain adaptive detection methods often assume prior access to the target domain annotations, which is rarely feasible in the real world. We study a more realistic setting, unsupervised 3D domain adaptive detection, which only utilizes source domain annotations.

  State-of-the-art 3D object detectors, based on deep learning, have shown promising accuracy but are prone to over-fit to domain idiosyncrasies. We propose a novel learning approach that drastically reduces this gap by fine-tuning the detector on pseudo-labels in the target domain. We show, on five autonomous driving datasets, that fine-tuning the detector on these pseudo-labels substantially reduces the domain gap to new driving environments.
