- 在多个恶劣天气数据集上实现最优性能,优于现有方法
- 无需复杂数据增强,适合实际自动驾驶场景部署
现有激光雷达语义分割模型在恶劣天气下精度下降严重。现有方法多依赖天气模拟或通用增强,但忽略了点云几何结构与反射强度的异质域偏移问题。本文提出几何-反射协同(GRC)框架,显式分离几何与反射特征的提取:采用双分支结构分别处理两类特征,再通过鲁棒的多层级特征协作模块抑制冗余与不可靠信息。无需复杂模拟或增强,该方法有效提取场景内在信息并抑制干扰,在多个挑战性基准测试中表现优异,显著优于先前方法,刷新了恶劣天气下激光雷达分割的性能上限。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Existing LiDAR semantic segmentation models often suffer from decreased accuracy when exposed to adverse weather conditions. Recent methods addressing this issue focus on enhancing training data through weather simulation or universal augmentation techniques. However, few works have studied the negative impacts caused by the heterogeneous domain shifts in the geometric structure and reflectance intensity of point clouds. In this paper, we delve into this challenge and address it with a novel Geometry-Reflectance Collaboration (GRC) framework that explicitly separates feature extraction for geometry and reflectance. Specifically, GRC employs a dual-branch architecture designed to independently process geometric and reflectance features initially, thereby capitalizing on their distinct characteristic. Then, GRC adopts a robust multi-level feature collaboration module to suppress redundant and unreliable information from both branches. Consequently, without complex simulation or augmentation, our method effectively extracts intrinsic information about the scene while suppressing interference, thus achieving better robustness and generalization in adverse weather conditions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of GRC through comprehensive experiments on challenging benchmarks, showing that our method outperforms previous approaches and establishes new state-of-the-art results.
