室内场景云的无监督对比学习取得了巨大的成功。但是，室外场景中无监督的学习点云仍然充满挑战，因为以前的方法需要重建整个场景并捕获对比度目标的部分视图。这在带有移动物体，障碍物和传感器的室外场景中是不可行的。在本文中，我们提出了CO^3，即合作对比度学习和上下文形状的预测，以无监督的方式学习3D表示室外景点云。与现有方法相比，Co^3具有几种优点。 （1）它利用了从车辆侧和基础架构侧来的激光点云来构建差异，但同时维护对比度学习的通用语义信息，这比以前的方法构建的视图更合适。 （2）在对比度目标的同时，提出了形状上下文预测作为预训练目标，并为无监督的3D点云表示学习带来了更多与任务相关的信息，这在将学习的表示形式转移到下游检测任务时是有益的。 （3）与以前的方法相比，CO^3学到的表示形式可以通过不同类型的LIDAR传感器收集到不同的室外场景数据集。 （4）CO^3将一次和Kitti数据集的当前最新方法提高到2.58地图。代码和模型将发布。我们认为Co^3将有助于了解室外场景中的LiDar Point云。

We propose a new self-supervised method for pre-training the backbone of deep perception models operating on point clouds. The core idea is to train the model on a pretext task which is the reconstruction of the surface on which the 3D points are sampled, and to use the underlying latent vectors as input to the perception head. The intuition is that if the network is able to reconstruct the scene surface, given only sparse input points, then it probably also captures some fragments of semantic information, that can be used to boost an actual perception task. This principle has a very simple formulation, which makes it both easy to implement and widely applicable to a large range of 3D sensors and deep networks performing semantic segmentation or object detection. In fact, it supports a single-stream pipeline, as opposed to most contrastive learning approaches, allowing training on limited resources. We conducted extensive experiments on various autonomous driving datasets, involving very different kinds of lidars, for both semantic segmentation and object detection. The results show the effectiveness of our method to learn useful representations without any annotation, compared to existing approaches.

现有的无监督点云预训练的方法被限制在场景级或点/体素级实例歧视上。场景级别的方法往往会失去对识别道路对象至关重要的本地细节，而点/体素级方法固有地遭受了有限的接收领域，而这种接收领域无力感知大型对象或上下文环境。考虑到区域级表示更适合3D对象检测，我们设计了一个新的无监督点云预训练框架，称为proposalcontrast，该框架通过对比的区域建议来学习强大的3D表示。具体而言，通过从每个点云中采样一组详尽的区域建议，每个提案中的几何点关系都是建模用于创建表达性建议表示形式的。为了更好地适应3D检测属性，提案contrast可以通过群体间和统一分离来优化，即提高跨语义类别和对象实例的提议表示的歧视性。在各种3D检测器（即PV-RCNN，Centerpoint，Pointpillars和Pointrcnn）和数据集（即Kitti，Waymo和一次）上验证了提案cont抗对流的概括性和可传递性。

Current outdoor LiDAR-based 3D object detection methods mainly adopt the training-from-scratch paradigm. Unfortunately, this paradigm heavily relies on large-scale labeled data, whose collection can be expensive and time-consuming. Self-supervised pre-training is an effective and desirable way to alleviate this dependence on extensive annotated data. Recently, masked modeling has become a successful self-supervised learning approach for point clouds. However, current works mainly focus on synthetic or indoor datasets. When applied to large-scale and sparse outdoor point clouds, they fail to yield satisfactory results. In this work, we present BEV-MAE, a simple masked autoencoder pre-training framework for 3D object detection on outdoor point clouds. Specifically, we first propose a bird's eye view (BEV) guided masking strategy to guide the 3D encoder learning feature representation in a BEV perspective and avoid complex decoder design during pre-training. Besides, we introduce a learnable point token to maintain a consistent receptive field size of the 3D encoder with fine-tuning for masked point cloud inputs. Finally, based on the property of outdoor point clouds, i.e., the point clouds of distant objects are more sparse, we propose point density prediction to enable the 3D encoder to learn location information, which is essential for object detection. Experimental results show that BEV-MAE achieves new state-of-the-art self-supervised results on both Waymo and nuScenes with diverse 3D object detectors. Furthermore, with only 20% data and 7% training cost during pre-training, BEV-MAE achieves comparable performance with the state-of-the-art method ProposalContrast. The source code and pre-trained models will be made publicly available.

基于面具的预训练在没有手动注释的监督的情况下，在图像，视频和语言中进行自我监督的学习取得了巨大的成功。但是，作为信息冗余数据，尚未在3D对象检测的字段中进行研究。由于3D对象检测中的点云是大规模的，因此无法重建输入点云。在本文中，我们提出了一个蒙版素分类网络，用于预训练大规模点云。我们的关键思想是将点云分为体素表示，并分类体素是否包含点云。这种简单的策略使网络是对物体形状的体素意识，从而改善了3D对象检测的性能。广泛的实验显示了我们在三个流行数据集（Kitti，Waymo和Nuscenes）上使用3D对象检测器（第二，Centerpoint和PV-RCNN）的预训练模型的效果。代码可在https：//github.com/chaytonmin/voxel-mae上公开获得。

Arguably one of the top success stories of deep learning is transfer learning. The finding that pre-training a network on a rich source set (e.g., ImageNet) can help boost performance once fine-tuned on a usually much smaller target set, has been instrumental to many applications in language and vision. Yet, very little is known about its usefulness in 3D point cloud understanding. We see this as an opportunity considering the effort required for annotating data in 3D. In this work, we aim at facilitating research on 3D representation learning. Different from previous works, we focus on high-level scene understanding tasks. To this end, we select a suite of diverse datasets and tasks to measure the effect of unsupervised pre-training on a large source set of 3D scenes. Our findings are extremely encouraging: using a unified triplet of architecture, source dataset, and contrastive loss for pre-training, we achieve improvement over recent best results in segmentation and detection across 6 different benchmarks for indoor and outdoor, real and synthetic datasets -demonstrating that the learned representation can generalize across domains. Furthermore, the improvement was similar to supervised pre-training, suggesting that future efforts should favor scaling data collection over more detailed annotation. We hope these findings will encourage more research on unsupervised pretext task design for 3D deep learning. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/facebookresearch/PointContrast

We show how the inherent, but often neglected, properties of large-scale LiDAR point clouds can be exploited for effective self-supervised representation learning. To this end, we design a highly data-efficient feature pre-training backbone that significantly reduces the amount of tedious 3D annotations to train state-of-the-art object detectors. In particular, we propose a Masked AutoEncoder (MAELi) that intuitively utilizes the sparsity of the LiDAR point clouds in both, the encoder and the decoder, during reconstruction. This results in more expressive and useful features, directly applicable to downstream perception tasks, such as 3D object detection for autonomous driving. In a novel reconstruction scheme, MAELi distinguishes between free and occluded space and leverages a new masking strategy which targets the LiDAR's inherent spherical projection. To demonstrate the potential of MAELi, we pre-train one of the most widespread 3D backbones, in an end-to-end fashion and show the merit of our fully unsupervised pre-trained features on several 3D object detection architectures. Given only a tiny fraction of labeled frames to fine-tune such detectors, we achieve significant performance improvements. For example, with only $\sim800$ labeled frames, MAELi features improve a SECOND model by +10.09APH/LEVEL 2 on Waymo Vehicles.

近年来，由于深度学习技术的发展，LiDar Point Clouds的3D对象检测取得了长足的进步。尽管基于体素或基于点的方法在3D对象检测中很受欢迎，但它们通常涉及耗时的操作，例如有关体素的3D卷积或点之间的球查询，从而使所得网络不适合时间关键应用程序。另一方面，基于2D视图的方法具有较高的计算效率，而通常比基于体素或基于点的方法获得的性能低。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个基于实时视图的单阶段3D对象检测器，即CVFNET完成此任务。为了在苛刻的效率条件下加强跨视图的学习，我们的框架提取了不同视图的特征，并以有效的渐进式方式融合了它们。我们首先提出了一个新颖的点范围特征融合模块，该模块在多个阶段深入整合点和范围视图特征。然后，当将所获得的深点视图转换为鸟类视图时，特殊的切片柱旨在很好地维护3D几何形状。为了更好地平衡样品比率，提出了一个稀疏的柱子检测头，将检测集中在非空网上。我们对流行的Kitti和Nuscenes基准进行了实验，并以准确性和速度来实现最先进的性能。

Despite the tremendous progress of Masked Autoencoders (MAE) in developing vision tasks such as image and video, exploring MAE in large-scale 3D point clouds remains challenging due to the inherent irregularity. In contrast to previous 3D MAE frameworks, which either design a complex decoder to infer masked information from maintained regions or adopt sophisticated masking strategies, we instead propose a much simpler paradigm. The core idea is to apply a \textbf{G}enerative \textbf{D}ecoder for MAE (GD-MAE) to automatically merges the surrounding context to restore the masked geometric knowledge in a hierarchical fusion manner. In doing so, our approach is free from introducing the heuristic design of decoders and enjoys the flexibility of exploring various masking strategies. The corresponding part costs less than \textbf{12\%} latency compared with conventional methods, while achieving better performance. We demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method on several large-scale benchmarks: Waymo, KITTI, and ONCE. Consistent improvement on downstream detection tasks illustrates strong robustness and generalization capability. Not only our method reveals state-of-the-art results, but remarkably, we achieve comparable accuracy even with \textbf{20\%} of the labeled data on the Waymo dataset. The code will be released at \url{https://github.com/Nightmare-n/GD-MAE}.

预训练已成为许多计算机视觉任务中的标准范式。但是，大多数方法通常都设计在RGB图像域上。由于二维图像平面和三维空间之间的差异，这种预先训练的模型无法感知空间信息，并用作3D相关任务的子最优解。为了弥合这种差距，我们的目标是学习可以描述三维空间的空间感知视觉表示，并且对这些任务更适合和有效。为了利用点云，在与图像相比提供空间信息时更有优越，我们提出了一个简单而有效的2D图像和3D点云无监督的预训练策略，称为Simipu。具体而言，我们开发了一种多模态对比学习框架，包括模态空间感知模块，用于从点云和模态特征交互模块中学习空间感知表示，以从点传输感知空间信息的能力云编码器分别到图像编码器。匹配算法和投影矩阵建立了用于对比损耗的正对。整个框架培训以无人监督的端到端时尚。据我们所知，这是第一项探索户外多模态数据集的对比学习训练策略的研究，其中包含配对的相机图像和LIDAR点云。 HTTPS：//github.com/zhever/simipu提供代码和模型。

在鸟眼中学习强大的表现（BEV），以进行感知任务，这是趋势和吸引行业和学术界的广泛关注。大多数自动驾驶算法的常规方法在正面或透视视图中执行检测，细分，跟踪等。随着传感器配置变得越来越复杂，从不同的传感器中集成了多源信息，并在统一视图中代表功能至关重要。 BEV感知继承了几个优势，因为代表BEV中的周围场景是直观和融合友好的。对于BEV中的代表对象，对于随后的模块，如计划和/或控制是最可取的。 BEV感知的核心问题在于（a）如何通过从透视视图到BEV来通过视图转换来重建丢失的3D信息； （b）如何在BEV网格中获取地面真理注释； （c）如何制定管道以合并来自不同来源和视图的特征； （d）如何适应和概括算法作为传感器配置在不同情况下各不相同。在这项调查中，我们回顾了有关BEV感知的最新工作，并对不同解决方案进行了深入的分析。此外，还描述了该行业的BEV方法的几种系统设计。此外，我们推出了一套完整的实用指南，以提高BEV感知任务的性能，包括相机，激光雷达和融合输入。最后，我们指出了该领域的未来研究指示。我们希望该报告能阐明社区，并鼓励对BEV感知的更多研究。我们保留一个活跃的存储库来收集最新的工作，并在https://github.com/openperceptionx/bevperception-survey-recipe上提供一包技巧的工具箱。

最近，融合了激光雷达点云和相机图像，提高了3D对象检测的性能和稳健性，因为这两种方式自然具有强烈的互补性。在本文中，我们通过引入新型级联双向融合〜（CB融合）模块和多模态一致性〜（MC）损耗来提出用于多模态3D对象检测的EPNet ++。更具体地说，所提出的CB融合模块提高点特征的丰富语义信息，以级联双向交互融合方式具有图像特征，导致更全面且辨别的特征表示。 MC损失明确保证预测分数之间的一致性，以获得更全面且可靠的置信度分数。基蒂，JRDB和Sun-RGBD数据集的实验结果展示了通过最先进的方法的EPNet ++的优越性。此外，我们强调一个关键但很容易被忽视的问题，这是探讨稀疏场景中的3D探测器的性能和鲁棒性。广泛的实验存在，EPNet ++优于现有的SOTA方法，在高稀疏点云壳中具有显着的边距，这可能是降低LIDAR传感器的昂贵成本的可用方向。代码将来会发布。

基于最新的激光痛的3D对象检测方法依赖于监督学习和大型标记数据集。但是，注释LiDAR数据是资源消耗的，仅取决于监督的学习限制了训练有素的模型的适用性。自我监督的培训策略可以通过学习下游3D视觉任务的通用点云主链模型来减轻这些问题。在此背景下，我们显示了自我监督的多帧流程表示与单帧3D检测假设之间的关系。我们的主要贡献利用了流动和运动表示，并将自我保护的主链与有监督的3D检测头结合在一起。首先，自我监督的场景流估计模型通过循环一致性进行了训练。然后，该模型的点云编码器用作单帧3D对象检测头模型的骨干。第二个3D对象检测模型学会利用运动表示来区分表现出不同运动模式的动态对象。 Kitti和Nuscenes基准的实验表明，提出的自我监管的预训练可显着提高3D检测性能。 https://github.com/emecercelik/ssl-3d-detection.git

We present a novel and high-performance 3D object detection framework, named PointVoxel-RCNN (PV-RCNN), for accurate 3D object detection from point clouds. Our proposed method deeply integrates both 3D voxel Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and PointNet-based set abstraction to learn more discriminative point cloud features. It takes advantages of efficient learning and high-quality proposals of the 3D voxel CNN and the flexible receptive fields of the PointNet-based networks. Specifically, the proposed framework summarizes the 3D scene with a 3D voxel CNN into a small set of keypoints via a novel voxel set abstraction module to save follow-up computations and also to encode representative scene features. Given the highquality 3D proposals generated by the voxel CNN, the RoIgrid pooling is proposed to abstract proposal-specific features from the keypoints to the RoI-grid points via keypoint set abstraction with multiple receptive fields. Compared with conventional pooling operations, the RoI-grid feature points encode much richer context information for accurately estimating object confidences and locations. Extensive experiments on both the KITTI dataset and the Waymo Open dataset show that our proposed PV-RCNN surpasses state-of-the-art 3D detection methods with remarkable margins by using only point clouds.

激光镜头和相机是两个用于自动驾驶中3D感知的互补传感器。激光点云具有准确的空间和几何信息，而RGB图像为上下文推理提供了纹理和颜色数据。为了共同利用激光雷达和相机，现有的融合方法倾向于基于校准，即一对一的映射，将每个3D点与一个投影图像像素对齐。但是，这些方法的性能高度依赖于校准质量，这对传感器的时间和空间同步敏感。因此，我们提出了一个动态的交叉注意（DCA）模块，具有新型的一对一的交叉模式映射，该模块从初始投影对邻域的最初投影中学习了多个偏移，从而发展了对校准误差的耐受性。此外，提出了A \ textIt {动态查询增强}来感知与模型无关的校准，从而进一步增强了DCA对初始未对准的耐受性。名为“动态跨注意网络”（DCAN）的整个融合体系结构利用了多级图像特征，并适应了点云的多个表示，这使DCA可以用作插件融合模块。对Nuscenes和Kitti的广泛实验证明了DCA的有效性。拟议的DCAN在Nuscenes检测挑战上优于最先进的方法。

近年来，3D视觉的自我监督预训练引起了研究的兴趣。为了学习信息的表示，许多以前的作品都利用了3D功能的不向导，\ eg，同一场景的视图之间的透视感，深度和RGB图像之间的模态侵权次数，点云和voxels之间的格式不变。尽管他们取得了令人鼓舞的结果，但以前的研究缺乏对这些不稳定的系统性比较。为了解决这个问题，我们的工作首次引入了一个统一的框架，根据该框架可以研究各种预培训方法。我们进行了广泛的实验，并仔细研究了3D预训练中不同不变的贡献。另外，我们提出了一种简单但有效的方法，该方法可以共同预先培训3D编码器和使用对比度学习的深度图编码器。通过我们的方法进行预训练的模型在下游任务方面具有显着的性能提高。例如，预先训练的投票表现优于Sun RGB-D和扫描对象检测基准的先前方法，并具有明显的利润。

具有多传感器的3D对象检测对于自主驾驶和机器人技术的准确可靠感知系统至关重要。现有的3D探测器通过采用两阶段范式来显着提高准确性，这仅依靠激光点云进行3D提案的细化。尽管令人印象深刻，但点云的稀疏性，尤其是对于遥远的点，使得仅激光雷达的完善模块难以准确识别和定位对象。要解决这个问题，我们提出了一种新颖的多模式两阶段方法FusionRcnn，有效，有效地融合了感兴趣区域（ROI）的点云和摄像头图像。 FusionRcnn自适应地整合了LiDAR的稀疏几何信息和统一注意机制中相机的密集纹理信息。具体而言，它首先利用RoiPooling获得具有统一大小的图像集，并通过在ROI提取步骤中的建议中采样原始点来获取点设置；然后利用模式内的自我注意力来增强域特异性特征，此后通过精心设计的跨注意事项融合了来自两种模态的信息。FusionRCNN从根本上是插件，并支持不同的单阶段方法与不同的单阶段方法。几乎没有建筑变化。对Kitti和Waymo基准测试的广泛实验表明，我们的方法显着提高了流行探测器的性能。可取，FusionRCNN在Waymo上的FusionRCNN显着提高了强大的第二基线，而Waymo上的MAP则超过6.14％，并且优于竞争两阶段方法的表现。代码将很快在https://github.com/xxlbigbrother/fusion-rcnn上发布。

LiDAR-based 3D Object detectors have achieved impressive performances in many benchmarks, however, multisensors fusion-based techniques are promising to further improve the results. PointPainting, as a recently proposed framework, can add the semantic information from the 2D image into the 3D LiDAR point by the painting operation to boost the detection performance. However, due to the limited resolution of 2D feature maps, severe boundary-blurring effect happens during re-projection of 2D semantic segmentation into the 3D point clouds. To well handle this limitation, a general multimodal fusion framework MSF has been proposed to fuse the semantic information from both the 2D image and 3D points scene parsing results. Specifically, MSF includes three main modules. First, SOTA off-the-shelf 2D/3D semantic segmentation approaches are employed to generate the parsing results for 2D images and 3D point clouds. The 2D semantic information is further re-projected into the 3D point clouds with calibrated parameters. To handle the misalignment between the 2D and 3D parsing results, an AAF module is proposed to fuse them by learning an adaptive fusion score. Then the point cloud with the fused semantic label is sent to the following 3D object detectors. Furthermore, we propose a DFF module to aggregate deep features in different levels to boost the final detection performance. The effectiveness of the framework has been verified on two public large-scale 3D object detection benchmarks by comparing with different baselines. The experimental results show that the proposed fusion strategies can significantly improve the detection performance compared to the methods using only point clouds and the methods using only 2D semantic information. Most importantly, the proposed approach significantly outperforms other approaches and sets new SOTA results on the nuScenes testing benchmark.

来自LIDAR或相机传感器的3D对象检测任务对于自动驾驶至关重要。先锋尝试多模式融合的尝试补充了稀疏的激光雷达点云，其中包括图像的丰富语义纹理信息，以额外的网络设计和开销为代价。在这项工作中，我们提出了一个名为SPNET的新型语义传递框架，以通过丰富的上下文绘画的指导来提高现有基于激光雷达的3D检测模型的性能，在推理过程中没有额外的计算成本。我们的关键设计是首先通过训练语义绘制的教师模型来利用地面真实标签中潜在的指导性语义知识，然后引导纯LIDAR网络通过不同的粒度传播模块来学习语义绘制的表示：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别：类别： - 通过，像素的传递和实例传递。实验结果表明，所提出的SPNET可以与大多数现有的3D检测框架无缝合作，其中AP增益为1〜5％，甚至在KITTI测试基准上实现了新的最新3D检测性能。代码可在以下网址获得：https：//github.com/jb892/sp​​net。

基于LIDAR的传感驱动器电流自主车辆。尽管进展迅速，但目前的激光雷达传感器在分辨率和成本方面仍然落后于传统彩色相机背后的二十年。对于自主驾驶，这意味着靠近传感器的大物体很容易可见，但远方或小物体仅包括一个测量或两个。这是一个问题，尤其是当这些对象结果驾驶危险时。另一方面，在车载RGB传感器中清晰可见这些相同的对象。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种将RGB传感器无缝熔化成基于LIDAR的3D识别方法。我们的方法采用一组2D检测来生成密集的3D虚拟点，以增加否则稀疏的3D点云。这些虚拟点自然地集成到任何基于标准的LIDAR的3D探测器以及常规激光雷达测量。由此产生的多模态检测器简单且有效。大规模NUSCENES数据集的实验结果表明，我们的框架通过显着的6.6地图改善了强大的中心点基线，并且优于竞争融合方法。代码和更多可视化可在https://tianweiy.github.io/mvp/上获得
