准确可靠的3D目标检测是自动驾驶和机器人的重要组成部分。尽管近期基于雷达-摄像头融合的方法在鸟瞰图(BEV)表示中取得了显著进展,但通常难以有效捕捉动态物体的运动信息,导致真实场景下性能受限。本文提出CRT-Fusion,一种将时序信息融入雷达-摄像头融合的新框架。该方法包含三个核心模块:多视图融合(MVF)、运动特征估计器(MFE)和运动引导时序融合(MGTF)。MVF模块在相机视图和鸟瞰图中融合雷达与图像特征,生成更精确的统一BEV表示;MFE模块同时完成像素级速度估计和BEV分割;基于MFE输出的速度与占用概率图,MGTF模块以递归方式对多帧特征图进行对齐与融合。通过考虑动态物体的运动特性,CRT-Fusion可生成鲁棒的BEV特征图,显著提升检测精度与鲁棒性。在挑战性nuScenes数据集上的大量实验表明,该方法在雷达-摄像头3D目标检测任务中达到当前最优水平,相较此前最佳方法,NDS提升+1.7%,mAP提升+1.4%。两项指标的显著提升充分验证了所提融合策略在增强检测可靠性与准确性方面的有效性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Accurate and robust 3D object detection is a critical component in autonomous vehicles and robotics. While recent radar-camera fusion methods have made significant progress by fusing information in the bird's-eye view (BEV) representation, they often struggle to effectively capture the motion of dynamic objects, leading to limited performance in real-world scenarios. In this paper, we introduce CRT-Fusion, a novel framework that integrates temporal information into radar-camera fusion to address this challenge. Our approach comprises three key modules: Multi-View Fusion (MVF), Motion Feature Estimator (MFE), and Motion Guided Temporal Fusion (MGTF). The MVF module fuses radar and image features within both the camera view and bird's-eye view, thereby generating a more precise unified BEV representation. The MFE module conducts two simultaneous tasks: estimation of pixel-wise velocity information and BEV segmentation. Based on the velocity and the occupancy score map obtained from the MFE module, the MGTF module aligns and fuses feature maps across multiple timestamps in a recurrent manner. By considering the motion of dynamic objects, CRT-Fusion can produce robust BEV feature maps, thereby improving detection accuracy and robustness. Extensive evaluations on the challenging nuScenes dataset demonstrate that CRT-Fusion achieves state-of-the-art performance for radar-camera-based 3D object detection. Our approach outperforms the previous best method in terms of NDS by +1.7%, while also surpassing the leading approach in mAP by +1.4%. These significant improvements in both metrics showcase the effectiveness of our proposed fusion strategy in enhancing the reliability and accuracy of 3D object detection.
