• Abstract summary: Existing techniques often neglect the synergistic effects of semantic and depth cues, leading to classification and position estimation errors. We propose an input-aware Transformer framework that leverages Semantics and Depth as priors. Our approach involves the use of an S-D that explicitly models semantic and depth priors, thereby disentangling the learning process of object categorization and position estimation.

• Abstract: 3D perception tasks, such as 3D object detection and Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) segmentation using multi-camera images, have drawn significant attention recently. Despite the fact that accurately estimating both semantic and 3D scene layouts are crucial for this task, existing techniques often neglect the synergistic effects of semantic and depth cues, leading to the occurrence of classification and position estimation errors. Additionally, the input-independent nature of initial queries also limits the learning capacity of Transformer-based models. To tackle these challenges, we propose an input-aware Transformer framework that leverages Semantics and Depth as priors (named SDTR). Our approach involves the use of an S-D Encoder that explicitly models semantic and depth priors, thereby disentangling the learning process of object categorization and position estimation. Moreover, we introduce a Prior-guided Query Builder that incorporates the semantic prior into the initial queries of the Transformer, resulting in more effective input-aware queries. Extensive experiments on the nuScenes and Lyft benchmarks demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of our method in both 3D object detection and BEV segmentation tasks.

  This paper focuses on leveraging geometry information, such as depth, to model such feature transformation. We first lift the 2D image features to the 3D space defined for the ego vehicle via a predicted parametric depth distribution for each pixel in each view. We then aggregate the 3D feature volume based on the 3D space occupancy derived from depth to the BEV frame.

  Multi-view 3D object detection is becoming popular in autonomous driving due to its high effectiveness and low cost. Most of the current state-of-the-art detectors follow the query-based bird's-eye-view (BEV) paradigm. We propose an Object-Centric query-BEV detector OCBEV, which can carve the temporal and spatial cues of moving targets more effectively.

  We first analyze the causes of the domain gap for the MV3D-Det task. To acquire a robust depth prediction, we propose to decouple the depth estimation from intrinsic parameters of the camera. We modify the focal length values to create multiple pseudo-domains and construct an adversarial training loss to encourage the feature representation to be more domain-agnostic.
