M&M3D: Multi-Dataset Training and Efficient Network for Multi-view 3D Object Detection

원문 초록

In this research, I proposed a network structure for multi-view 3D object detection using camera-only data and a Bird's-Eye-View map. My work is based on a current key challenge domain adaptation and visual data transfer. Although many excellent camera-only 3D object detection has been continuously proposed, many research work risk dramatic performance drop when the networks are trained on the source domain but tested on a different target domain. Then I found it is very surprising that predictions on bounding boxes and classes are still replied to on 2D networks. Based on the domain gap assumption on various 3D datasets, I found they still shared a similar data extraction on the same BEV map size and camera data transfer. Therefore, to analyze the domain gap influence on the current method and to make good use of 3D space information among the dataset and the real world, I proposed a transfer learning method and Transformer construction to study the 3D object detection on NuScenes-mini and Lyft. Through multi-dataset training and a detection head from the Transformer, the network demonstrated good data migration performance and efficient detection performance by using 3D anchor query and 3D positional information. Relying on only a small amount of source data and the existing large model pre-training weights, the efficient network manages to achieve competitive results on the new target domain. Moreover, my study utilizes 3D information as available semantic information and 2D multi-view image features blending into the visual-language transfer design. In the final 3D anchor box prediction and object classification, my network achieved good results on standard metrics of 3D object detection, which differs from dataset-specific models on each training domain without any fine-tuning.
