• Abstract: 3D object detection models trained in one server plays an important role in autonomous driving, robotics manipulation, and augmented reality scenarios. However, most existing methods face severe privacy concern when deployed on a multi-robot perception network to explore large-scale 3D scene. Meanwhile, it is highly challenging to employ conventional federated learning methods on 3D object detection scenes, due to the 3D data heterogeneity and limited communication bandwidth. In this paper, we take the first attempt to propose a novel Federated 3D object detection framework (i.e., Fed3D), to enable distributed learning for 3D object detection with privacy preservation. Specifically, considering the irregular input 3D object in local robot and various category distribution between robots could cause local heterogeneity and global heterogeneity, respectively. We then propose a local-global class-aware loss for the 3D data heterogeneity issue, which could balance gradient back-propagation rate of different 3D categories from local and global aspects. To reduce communication cost on each round, we develop a federated 3D prompt module, which could only learn and communicate the prompts with few learnable parameters. To the end, several extensive experiments on federated 3D object detection show that our Fed3D model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms with lower communication cost when providing the limited local training data.

  Human is able to conduct 3D recognition by a limited number of haptic contacts between the target object and his/her fingers without seeing the object. This capability is defined as haptic glance' in cognitive neuroscience. Most of the existing 3D recognition models were developed based on dense 3D data. In many real-life use cases, where robots are used to collect 3D data by haptic exploration, only a limited number of 3D points could be collected. A novel reinforcement learning based framework is proposed, where the haptic exploration procedure is optimized simultaneously with the objective 3D recognition with actively collected 3D

  3D object detection aims to detect and localize the 3D bounding boxes of objects belonging to specific classes. Existing 3D object detectors rely on annotated 3D bounding boxes during training, while these annotations could be expensive to obtain and only accessible in limited scenarios. We propose VS3D, a framework for weakly supervised 3D object detection from point clouds without using any ground truth 3D bounding box for training.
