InVDriver: Intra-Instance Aware Vectorized Query-Based Autonomous Driving Transformer
- 采用掩码自注意力机制,仅关注同一实例内的点间关系。
- 在nuScenes上实现最优精度与轨迹平滑性,计算效率高。
- 适合追求高精度端到端自动驾驶系统的研究者与工程师。
端到端自动驾驶凭借其整体优化能力,在学术界和工业界日益受到关注。向量表示在保留实例级拓扑信息的同时降低计算开销,成为有前景的范式。然而,现有向量查询框架常忽视实例内部点间的固有空间相关性,导致输出几何不一致(如高精地图元素断裂或轨迹振荡)。为此,我们提出InVDriver,一种新型向量查询系统,通过掩码自注意力层系统地建模实例内空间依赖,从而提升规划准确性和轨迹平滑性。在感知、预测与规划所有核心模块中,InVDriver均引入掩码自注意力机制,限制注意力仅作用于实例内点交互,实现结构元素协同优化并抑制无关实例噪声。在nuScenes基准上的实验表明,InVDriver在准确性和安全性方面均超越现有方法,同时保持高计算效率。本工作验证了显式建模实例内几何一致性对推进向量化自动驾驶系统的关键作用,弥合了端到端框架理论优势与实际部署需求之间的差距。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
End-to-end autonomous driving with its holistic optimization capabilities, has gained increasing traction in academia and industry. Vectorized representations, which preserve instance-level topological information while reducing computational overhead, have emerged as a promising paradigm. While existing vectorized query-based frameworks often overlook the inherent spatial correlations among intra-instance points, resulting in geometrically inconsistent outputs (e.g., fragmented HD map elements or oscillatory trajectories). To address these limitations, we propose InVDriver, a novel vectorized query-based system that systematically models intra-instance spatial dependencies through masked self-attention layers, thereby enhancing planning accuracy and trajectory smoothness. Across all core modules, i.e., perception, prediction, and planning, InVDriver incorporates masked self-attention mechanisms that restrict attention to intra-instance point interactions, enabling coordinated refinement of structural elements while suppressing irrelevant inter-instance noise. Experimental results on the nuScenes benchmark demonstrate that InVDriver achieves state-of-the-art performance, surpassing prior methods in both accuracy and safety, while maintaining high computational efficiency. Our work validates that explicit modeling of intra-instance geometric coherence is critical for advancing vectorized autonomous driving systems, bridging the gap between theoretical advantages of end-to-end frameworks and practical deployment requirements.
