• Abstract: 3D Object Detection from LiDAR data has achieved industry-ready performance in controlled environments through advanced deep learning methods. However, these neural network models are limited by a finite set of inlier object categories. Our work redefines the open-set 3D Object Detection problem in LiDAR data as an Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) problem to detect outlier objects. This approach brings additional information in comparison with traditional object detection. We establish a comparative benchmark and show that two-stage OOD methods, notably autolabelling, show promising results for 3D OOD Object Detection. Our contributions include setting a rigorous evaluation protocol by examining the evaluation of hyperparameters and evaluating strategies for generating additional data to train an OOD-aware 3D object detector. This comprehensive analysis is essential for developing robust 3D object detection systems that can perform reliably in diverse and unpredictable real-world scenarios.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) objects can lead to misclassifications, posing a significant risk to the safety and reliability of automated vehicles. We propose a new evaluation protocol that allows the use of existing datasets without modifying the point cloud. The effectiveness of our method is validated through experiments on the newly proposed nuScenes OOD benchmark.

  We propose a novel task, called generalized few-shot 3D object detection, where we have a large amount of training data for common (base) objects, but only a few data for rare (novel) classes. Specifically, we analyze in-depth differences between images and point clouds, and then present a practical principle for the few-shot setting in the 3D LiDAR dataset. To solve this task, we propose an incremental fine-tuning method to extend existing 3D detection models to recognize both common and rare objects.
