本文介绍我们在 3D 目标检测领域的新工作:SparseBEV。我们所处的 3D 世界是稀疏的,因此稀疏 3D 目标检测是一个重要的发展方向。然而,现有的稀疏 3D 目标检测模型(如 DETR3D[1],PETR[2] 等)和稠密 3D 检测模型(如 BEVFormer[3],BEVDet[8])在性能上尚有差距。针对这一现象,我们认为应该增强检测器在 BEV 空间和 2D 空间的适应性(adaptability)。
本文中,我们提出了一种全稀疏的单阶段 3D 目标检测器 SparseBEV。SparseBEV 通过尺度自适应自注意力、自适应时空采样、自适应融合三个核心模块提升了基于稀疏 query 模型的自适应性,取得了和基于稠密 BEV 的方法接近甚至更优的性能。此外我们还提出了一种 Dual-branch 的结构进行更加高效的长时序处理。SparseBEV 在 nuScenes 同时实现了高精度和高速度。我们希望该工作可以对稀疏 3D 检测范式有所启发。
