MVM3Det: A Novel Method for Multi-view Monocular 3D Detection

원문 초록

Monocular 3D object detection encounters occlusion problems in many application scenarios, such as traffic monitoring, pedestrian monitoring, etc., which leads to serious false negative. Multi-view object detection effectively solves this problem by combining data from different perspectives. However, due to label confusion and feature confusion, the orientation estimation of multi-view 3D object detection is intractable, which is important for object tracking and intention prediction. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-view 3D object detection method named MVM3Det which simultaneously estimates the 3D position and orientation of the object according to the multi-view monocular information. The method consists of two parts: 1) Position proposal network, which integrates the features from different perspectives into consistent global features through feature orthogonal transformation to estimate the position. 2) Multi-branch orientation estimation network, which introduces feature perspective pooling to overcome the two confusion problems during the orientation estimation. In addition, we present a first dataset for multi-view 3D object detection named MVM3D. Comparing with State-Of-The-Art (SOTA) methods on our dataset and public dataset WildTrack, our method achieves very competitive results.
