Open-Set LiDAR Panoptic Segmentation Guided by Uncertainty-Aware Learning

- 用不确定性建模引导分割,区分已知与未知物体。
- 在KITTI-360和nuScenes上性能超越现有方法。
- 适合关注开放世界感知的自动驾驶研究者。
自动驾驶车辆在开放世界环境中可能遇到未见过的物体类别。然而,现有大多数激光雷达全景分割模型基于封闭集假设,无法检测未知物体实例。本文提出一种基于不确定性的开放集全景分割框架ULOPS,利用基于Dirichlet的证据学习建模预测不确定性。架构包含独立解码器:用于语义分割及不确定性估计、原型关联的嵌入表示、实例中心预测。推理时,利用不确定性估计识别并分割未知实例。为增强模型区分已知与未知物体的能力,引入三种不确定性驱动损失函数:均匀证据损失促使未知区域产生高不确定性;自适应不确定性分离损失确保已知与未知物体在全局尺度上不确定性差异一致;对比不确定性损失在细粒度层面进一步优化分离效果。为评估开放集性能,扩展了KITTI-360基准设置,并引入nuScenes新开放集评估。大量实验表明,ULOPS持续优于现有开放集激光雷达全景分割方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Autonomous vehicles that navigate in open-world environments may encounter previously unseen object classes. However, most existing LiDAR panoptic segmentation models rely on closed-set assumptions, failing to detect unknown object instances. In this work, we propose ULOPS, an uncertainty-guided open-set panoptic segmentation framework that leverages Dirichlet-based evidential learning to model predictive uncertainty. Our architecture incorporates separate decoders for semantic segmentation with uncertainty estimation, embedding with prototype association, and instance center prediction. During inference, we leverage uncertainty estimates to identify and segment unknown instances. To strengthen the model's ability to differentiate between known and unknown objects, we introduce three uncertainty-driven loss functions. Uniform Evidence Loss to encourage high uncertainty in unknown regions. Adaptive Uncertainty Separation Loss ensures a consistent difference in uncertainty estimates between known and unknown objects at a global scale. Contrastive Uncertainty Loss refines this separation at the fine-grained level. To evaluate open-set performance, we extend benchmark settings on KITTI-360 and introduce a new open-set evaluation for nuScenes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that ULOPS consistently outperforms existing open-set LiDAR panoptic segmentation methods.
