• Abstract: Data annotation in autonomous vehicles is a critical step in the development of Deep Neural Network (DNN) based models or the performance evaluation of the perception system. This often takes the form of adding 3D bounding boxes on time-sequential and registered series of point-sets captured from active sensors like Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Radio Detection and Ranging (RADAR). When annotating multiple active sensors, there is a need to motion compensate and translate the points to a consistent coordinate frame and timestamp respectively. However, highly dynamic objects pose a unique challenge, as they can appear at different timestamps in each sensor's data. Without knowing the speed of the objects, their position appears to be different in different sensor outputs. Thus, even after motion compensation, highly dynamic objects are not matched from multiple sensors in the same frame, and human annotators struggle to add unique bounding boxes that capture all objects. This article focuses on addressing this challenge, primarily within the context of Scania collected datasets. The proposed solution takes a track of an annotated object as input and uses the Moving Horizon Estimation (MHE) to robustly estimate its speed. The estimated speed profile is utilized to correct the position of the annotated box and add boxes to object clusters missed by the original annotation.

• Detection Is Tracking: Point Cloud Multi-Sweep Deep Learning Models Revisited [0.0]
  In autonomous driving, lidar measurements are usually passed through a "virtual sensor" realized by a deep learning model. We argue in this paper that such an input already contains temporal information, and therefore the virtual sensor output should also contain temporal information. We present a deep learning model called MULti-Sweep PAired Detector (MULSPAD) that produces, for each detected object, a pair of bounding boxes at both the end time and the beginning time of the input buffer.

  Multi-object tracking (MOT) aims at estimating bounding boxes and identities of objects across video frames. We propose a hierarchical data association strategy to mine the true objects in low-score detection boxes. In 3D scenarios, it is much easier for the tracker to predict object velocities in the world coordinate.
