Efficient graph attentional network for 3D object detection from Frustum-based LiDAR point clouds

LiDAR-based 3D object detection is important for autonomous driving scene perception, but point clouds produced by LiDAR are irregular and unstructured in nature, and cannot be adopted by the conventional Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Recently, Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) has been proved as an ideal way to handle non-Euclidean structure data, as well as for point cloud processing. However, GCN involves massive computation for searching adjacent nodes, and the heavy computational cost limits its applications in processing large-scale LiDAR point cloud in autonomous driving. In this work, we adopt a frustum-based point cloud-image fusion scheme to reduce the amount of LiDAR point clouds, thus making the GCN-based large-scale LiDAR point clouds feature learning feasible. On this basis, we propose an efficient graph attentional network to accomplish the goal of 3D object detection in autonomous driving, which can learn features from raw LiDAR point cloud directly without any conversions. We evaluate the model on the public KITTI benchmark dataset, the 3D detection mAP is 63.72% on KITTI Cars, Pedestrian and Cyclists, and the inference speed achieves 7.9 fps on a single GPU, which is faster than other methods of the same type.     

空间球形物体自动定位方法研究

利用双目立体视觉技术对空间物体进行定位的一个难点在于特征点的选择和匹配，常用的方法是选择一幅图像中物体的形心为特征点，然后根据灰度或者颜色值在另外一幅中进行匹配。为了达到较好的精度，所用的匹配算法都比较复杂，并且当物体表面颜色分布均匀时错误匹配率较高。针对球形物体，本文提出基于形心几何匹配的定位方法，避开了常规匹配方法所面对的难题，经过试验验证，效果很好。

Motion detection in moving camera videos using background modeling and FlowNet

Real-time moving object detection is challenging for moving cameras due to the moving background. Many studies use homography matrix to compensate for global motion by warping the background model to the current frame. Then, the pixel difference between the current frame and the background model is used for background subtraction. Moving pixels are extracted by applying adaptive threshold and some post-processing techniques. On the other hand, deep learning-based dense optical flow can be efficient enough to extract the moving pixels, but it increases computational cost. This study proposes a method to enhance a classical background modeling method with deep learning-based dense optical flow. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a fusing algorithm for dense optical flow and background modeling approach. The background modeling methods are error-prone, especially with continuous camera movement, while the optical flow method alone may not always be efficient. Our hybrid method fuses both techniques to improve the detection accuracy. We propose a software architecture to run background modeling and dense optical flow methods in parallel processes. The proposed implementation approach significantly increases the method’s working speed, while the proposed fusion and combining strategy improve detection results. The experimental results show that the proposed method can run at high speed and has satisfying performance against the methods in the literature.

一种实时多尺度目标检测识别算法

无人机目标检测与识别任务中,目标随着飞行高度的改变尺寸发生显著变化。常规目标检测模型中,获取的小目标细节信息有限,检测精度较低;而适用于小目标的实时检测模型往往容易丢失大目标的背景信息,降低大目标的检测精度。针对以上多尺度目标检测识别任务难点,提出一种基于改进特征金字塔网络(Feature Pyramid Network, FPN)结构的实时多尺度目标检测识别模型。该模型通过增加特征金字塔层级覆盖更广的目标尺度,获取更为丰富的目标信息;同时,利用跨连接增加不同尺度特征融合的多样性,降低特征传导距离,保留更加完整的尺度特征来提高模型检测识别多尺度目标的性能。通过实验发现,相比于原始网络结构和相同特征层级的四层特征金字塔结构,加入改进特征金字塔结构的多尺度目标检测模型识别性能得到了提升。
