由于大规模数据集的可用性，通常在特定位置和良好的天气条件下收集的大规模数据集，近年来，自动驾驶汽车的感知进展已加速。然而，为了达到高安全要求，这些感知系统必须在包括雪和雨在内的各种天气条件下进行稳健运行。在本文中，我们提出了一个新数据集，以通过新颖的数据收集过程启用强大的自动驾驶 - 在不同场景（Urban，Highway，乡村，校园），天气，雪，雨，阳光下，沿着15公里的路线反复记录数据），时间（白天/晚上）以及交通状况（行人，骑自行车的人和汽车）。该数据集包括来自摄像机和激光雷达传感器的图像和点云，以及高精度GPS/ins以在跨路线上建立对应关系。该数据集包括使用Amodal掩码捕获部分遮挡和3D边界框的道路和对象注释。我们通过分析基准在道路和对象，深度估计和3D对象检测中的性能来证明该数据集的独特性。重复的路线为对象发现，持续学习和异常检测打开了新的研究方向。链接到ITHACA365：https：//ithaca365.mae.cornell.edu/

Robust detection and tracking of objects is crucial for the deployment of autonomous vehicle technology. Image based benchmark datasets have driven development in computer vision tasks such as object detection, tracking and segmentation of agents in the environment. Most autonomous vehicles, however, carry a combination of cameras and range sensors such as lidar and radar. As machine learning based methods for detection and tracking become more prevalent, there is a need to train and evaluate such methods on datasets containing range sensor data along with images. In this work we present nuTonomy scenes (nuScenes), the first dataset to carry the full autonomous vehicle sensor suite: 6 cameras, 5 radars and 1 lidar, all with full 360 degree field of view. nuScenes comprises 1000 scenes, each 20s long and fully annotated with 3D bounding boxes for 23 classes and 8 attributes. It has 7x as many annotations and 100x as many images as the pioneering KITTI dataset. We define novel 3D detection and tracking metrics. We also provide careful dataset analysis as well as baselines for lidar and image based detection and tracking. Data, development kit and more information are available online 1 .

自动驾驶技术的加速开发对获得大量高质量数据的需求更大。标签，现实世界数据代表性是培训深度学习网络的燃料，对于改善自动驾驶感知算法至关重要。在本文中，我们介绍了PANDASET，由完整的高精度自动车辆传感器套件生产的第一个数据集，具有无需成本商业许可证。使用一个360 {\ DEG}机械纺丝利达，一个前置，远程LIDAR和6个摄像机收集数据集。DataSet包含100多个场景，每个场景为8秒，为目标分类提供28种类型的标签和37种类型的语义分割标签。我们提供仅限LIDAR 3D对象检测的基线，LIDAR-Camera Fusion 3D对象检测和LIDAR点云分割。有关Pandaset和开发套件的更多详细信息，请参阅https://scale.com/open-datasets/pandaset。

3D object detection is an essential task in autonomous driving. Recent techniques excel with highly accurate detection rates, provided the 3D input data is obtained from precise but expensive LiDAR technology. Approaches based on cheaper monocular or stereo imagery data have, until now, resulted in drastically lower accuracies -a gap that is commonly attributed to poor image-based depth estimation. However, in this paper we argue that it is not the quality of the data but its representation that accounts for the majority of the difference. Taking the inner workings of convolutional neural networks into consideration, we propose to convert image-based depth maps to pseudo-LiDAR representations -essentially mimicking the LiDAR signal. With this representation we can apply different existing LiDAR-based detection algorithms. On the popular KITTI benchmark, our approach achieves impressive improvements over the existing state-of-the-art in image-based performance -raising the detection accuracy of objects within the 30m range from the previous state-of-the-art of 22% to an unprecedented 74%. At the time of submission our algorithm holds the highest entry on the KITTI 3D object detection leaderboard for stereo-image-based approaches.

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。

The research community has increasing interest in autonomous driving research, despite the resource intensity of obtaining representative real world data. Existing selfdriving datasets are limited in the scale and variation of the environments they capture, even though generalization within and between operating regions is crucial to the overall viability of the technology. In an effort to help align the research community's contributions with real-world selfdriving problems, we introduce a new large-scale, high quality, diverse dataset. Our new dataset consists of 1150 scenes that each span 20 seconds, consisting of well synchronized and calibrated high quality LiDAR and camera data captured across a range of urban and suburban geographies. It is 15x more diverse than the largest cam-era+LiDAR dataset available based on our proposed geographical coverage metric. We exhaustively annotated this data with 2D (camera image) and 3D (LiDAR) bounding boxes, with consistent identifiers across frames. Finally, we provide strong baselines for 2D as well as 3D detection and tracking tasks. We further study the effects of dataset size and generalization across geographies on 3D detection methods.

与使用可见光乐队（384 $ \ sim $ 769 THz）和使用红外乐队（361 $ \ sim $ 331 THz）的RGB摄像机不同，雷达使用相对较长的波长无线电（77 $ \ sim $ 81 GHz），从而产生强大不良风雨的测量。不幸的是，与现有的相机和LIDAR数据集相比，现有的雷达数据集仅包含相对较少的样品。这可能会阻碍基于雷达的感知的复杂数据驱动的深度学习技术的发展。此外，大多数现有的雷达数据集仅提供3D雷达张量（3DRT）数据，该数据包含沿多普勒，范围和方位角尺寸的功率测量值。由于没有高程信息，因此要估算3DRT对象的3D边界框是一个挑战。在这项工作中，我们介绍了Kaist-Radar（K-Radar），这是一种新型的大规模对象检测数据集和基准测试，其中包含35K帧的4D雷达张量（4DRT）数据，并具有沿多普勒，范围，Azimuth和Apipation的功率测量值尺寸，以及小心注释的3D边界盒在道路上的物体​​标签。 K-Radar包括在各种道路结构（城市，郊区道路，小巷和高速公路）上进行挑战的驾驶条件，例如不良风雨（雾，雨和雪）。除4DRT外，我们还提供了精心校准的高分辨率激光雷，周围的立体声摄像头和RTK-GPS的辅助测量。我们还提供基于4DRT的对象检测基线神经网络（基线NNS），并表明高度信息对于3D对象检测至关重要。通过将基线NN与类似结构的激光雷达神经网络进行比较，我们证明了4D雷达是不利天气条件的更强大的传感器。所有代码均可在https://github.com/kaist-avelab/k-radar上找到。

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

视频分析的图像分割在不同的研究领域起着重要作用，例如智能城市，医疗保健，计算机视觉和地球科学以及遥感应用。在这方面，最近致力于发展新的细分策略;最新的杰出成就之一是Panoptic细分。后者是由语义和实例分割的融合引起的。明确地，目前正在研究Panoptic细分，以帮助获得更多对视频监控，人群计数，自主驾驶，医学图像分析的图像场景的更细致的知识，以及一般对场景更深入的了解。为此，我们介绍了本文的首次全面审查现有的Panoptic分段方法，以获得作者的知识。因此，基于所采用的算法，应用场景和主要目标的性质，执行现有的Panoptic技术的明确定义分类。此外，讨论了使用伪标签注释新数据集的Panoptic分割。继续前进，进行消融研究，以了解不同观点的Panoptic方法。此外，讨论了适合于Panoptic分割的评估度量，并提供了现有解决方案性能的比较，以告知最先进的并识别其局限性和优势。最后，目前对主题技术面临的挑战和吸引不久的将来吸引相当兴趣的未来趋势，可以成为即将到来的研究研究的起点。提供代码的文件可用于：https：//github.com/elharroussomar/awesome-panoptic-egation

我们提出了DeepFusion，这是一种模块化的多模式结构，可在不同组合中以3D对象检测为融合激光雷达，相机和雷达。专门的功能提取器可以利用每种模式，并且可以轻松交换，从而使该方法变得简单而灵活。提取的特征被转化为鸟眼视图，作为融合的共同表示。在特征空间中融合方式之前，先进行空间和语义对齐。最后，检测头利用丰富的多模式特征，以改善3D检测性能。 LIDAR相机，激光摄像头雷达和摄像头融合的实验结果显示了我们融合方法的灵活性和有效性。在此过程中，我们研究了高达225米的遥远汽车检测的很大程度上未开发的任务，显示了激光摄像机融合的好处。此外，我们研究了3D对象检测的LIDAR点所需的密度，并在对不利天气条件的鲁棒性示例中说明了含义。此外，对我们的摄像头融合的消融研究突出了准确深度估计的重要性。

Datasets drive vision progress, yet existing driving datasets are impoverished in terms of visual content and supported tasks to study multitask learning for autonomous driving. Researchers are usually constrained to study a small set of problems on one dataset, while real-world computer vision applications require performing tasks of various complexities. We construct BDD100K 1 , the largest driving video dataset with 100K videos and 10 tasks to evaluate the exciting progress of image recognition algorithms on autonomous driving. The dataset possesses geographic, environmental, and weather diversity, which is useful for training models that are less likely to be surprised by new conditions. Based on this diverse dataset, we build a benchmark for heterogeneous multitask learning and study how to solve the tasks together. Our experiments show that special training strategies are needed for existing models to perform such heterogeneous tasks. BDD100K opens the door for future studies in this important venue.

它得到了很好的认识到，从深度感知的LIDAR点云和语义富有的立体图像中融合互补信息将有利于3D对象检测。然而，探索稀疏3D点和密集2D像素之间固有的不自然相互作用并不重要。为了简化这种困难，最近的建议通常将3D点投影到2D图像平面上以对图像数据进行采样，然后聚合点处的数据。然而，这种方法往往遭受点云和RGB图像的分辨率之间的不匹配，导致次优性能。具体地，作为多模态数据聚合位置的稀疏点导致高分辨率图像的严重信息丢失，这反过来破坏了多传感器融合的有效性。在本文中，我们呈现VPFNET - 一种新的架构，可以在“虚拟”点处巧妙地对齐和聚合点云和图像数据。特别地，它们的密度位于3D点和2D像素的密度之间，虚拟点可以很好地桥接两个传感器之间的分辨率间隙，从而保持更多信息以进行处理。此外，我们还研究了可以应用于点云和RGB图像的数据增强技术，因为数据增强对迄今为止对3D对象探测器的贡献不可忽略。我们对Kitti DataSet进行了广泛的实验，与最先进的方法相比，观察到了良好的性能。值得注意的是，我们的VPFNET在KITTI测试集上实现了83.21 \％中等3D AP和91.86 \％适度的BEV AP，自2021年5月21日起排名第一。网络设计也考虑了计算效率 - 我们可以实现FPS 15对单个NVIDIA RTX 2080TI GPU。该代码将用于复制和进一步调查。

We introduce Argoverse 2 (AV2) - a collection of three datasets for perception and forecasting research in the self-driving domain. The annotated Sensor Dataset contains 1,000 sequences of multimodal data, encompassing high-resolution imagery from seven ring cameras, and two stereo cameras in addition to lidar point clouds, and 6-DOF map-aligned pose. Sequences contain 3D cuboid annotations for 26 object categories, all of which are sufficiently-sampled to support training and evaluation of 3D perception models. The Lidar Dataset contains 20,000 sequences of unlabeled lidar point clouds and map-aligned pose. This dataset is the largest ever collection of lidar sensor data and supports self-supervised learning and the emerging task of point cloud forecasting. Finally, the Motion Forecasting Dataset contains 250,000 scenarios mined for interesting and challenging interactions between the autonomous vehicle and other actors in each local scene. Models are tasked with the prediction of future motion for "scored actors" in each scenario and are provided with track histories that capture object location, heading, velocity, and category. In all three datasets, each scenario contains its own HD Map with 3D lane and crosswalk geometry - sourced from data captured in six distinct cities. We believe these datasets will support new and existing machine learning research problems in ways that existing datasets do not. All datasets are released under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license.

在过去的几年中，自动驾驶的感知系统在其表现方面取得了重大进步。但是，这些系统在极端天气条件下努力表现出稳健性，因为在这些条件下，传感器和相机等传感器套件中的主要传感器都会下降。为了解决此问题，摄像机雷达融合系统为所有可靠的高质量感知提供了独特的机会。相机提供丰富的语义信息，而雷达可以通过遮挡和在所有天气条件下工作。在这项工作中，我们表明，当摄像机输入降解时，最新的融合方法的性能很差，这实际上导致失去了他们设定的全天可靠性。与这些方法相反，我们提出了一种新方法RadSegnet，该方法使用了独立信息提取的新设计理念，并在所有情况下都可以在所有情况下真正实现可靠性，包括遮挡和不利天气。我们在基准ASTYX数据集上开发并验证了我们的系统，并在辐射数据集上进一步验证了这些结果。与最先进的方法相比，Radsegnet在ASTYX上提高了27％，辐射增长了41.46％，平均精度得分，并且在不利天气条件下的性能明显更好

The last decade witnessed increasingly rapid progress in self-driving vehicle technology, mainly backed up by advances in the area of deep learning and artificial intelligence. The objective of this paper is to survey the current state-of-the-art on deep learning technologies used in autonomous driving. We start by presenting AI-based self-driving architectures, convolutional and recurrent neural networks, as well as the deep reinforcement learning paradigm. These methodologies form a base for the surveyed driving scene perception, path planning, behavior arbitration and motion control algorithms. We investigate both the modular perception-planning-action pipeline, where each module is built using deep learning methods, as well as End2End systems, which directly map sensory information to steering commands. Additionally, we tackle current challenges encountered in designing AI architectures for autonomous driving, such as their safety, training data sources and computational hardware. The comparison presented in this survey helps to gain insight into the strengths and limitations of deep learning and AI approaches for autonomous driving and assist with design choices. 1

Surround-view fisheye perception under valet parking scenes is fundamental and crucial in autonomous driving. Environmental conditions in parking lots perform differently from the common public datasets, such as imperfect light and opacity, which substantially impacts on perception performance. Most existing networks based on public datasets may generalize suboptimal results on these valet parking scenes, also affected by the fisheye distortion. In this article, we introduce a new large-scale fisheye dataset called Fisheye Parking Dataset(FPD) to promote the research in dealing with diverse real-world surround-view parking cases. Notably, our compiled FPD exhibits excellent characteristics for different surround-view perception tasks. In addition, we also propose our real-time distortion-insensitive multi-task framework Fisheye Perception Network (FPNet), which improves the surround-view fisheye BEV perception by enhancing the fisheye distortion operation and multi-task lightweight designs. Extensive experiments validate the effectiveness of our approach and the dataset's exceptional generalizability.

近年来，自主驾驶LIDAR数据的3D对象检测一直在迈出卓越的进展。在最先进的方法中，已经证明了将点云进行编码为鸟瞰图（BEV）是有效且有效的。与透视图不同，BEV在物体之间保留丰富的空间和距离信息;虽然在BEV中相同类型的更远物体不会较小，但它们包含稀疏点云特征。这一事实使用共享卷积神经网络削弱了BEV特征提取。为了解决这一挑战，我们提出了范围感知注意网络（RAANET），提取更强大的BEV功能并产生卓越的3D对象检测。范围感知的注意力（RAA）卷曲显着改善了近距离的特征提取。此外，我们提出了一种新的辅助损耗，用于密度估计，以进一步增强覆盖物体的Raanet的检测精度。值得注意的是，我们提出的RAA卷积轻量级，并兼容，以集成到用于BEV检测的任何CNN架构中。 Nuscenes DataSet上的广泛实验表明，我们的提出方法优于基于LIDAR的3D对象检测的最先进的方法，具有16 Hz的实时推断速度，为LITE版本为22 Hz。该代码在匿名GitHub存储库HTTPS://github.com/Anonymous0522 / ange上公开提供。

In this paper we propose to exploit multiple related tasks for accurate multi-sensor 3D object detection. Towards this goal we present an end-to-end learnable architecture that reasons about 2D and 3D object detection as well as ground estimation and depth completion. Our experiments show that all these tasks are complementary and help the network learn better representations by fusing information at various levels. Importantly, our approach leads the KITTI benchmark on 2D, 3D and bird's eye view object detection, while being real-time. * Equal contribution.† Work done as part of Uber AI Residency program.
