How Hard Is Snow? A Paired Domain Adaptation Dataset for Clear and Snowy Weather: CADC+
- 构建真实道路场景下雪天与晴天的成对点云数据
- 雪天使3D检测性能下降18.7%,引入噪声与域偏移双重影响
- 适合研究冬季自动驾驶感知、域适应与不确定性建模的研究者
雪天对三维目标检测性能的影响尚未充分研究。准确评估需在相同驾驶环境下同时具备充足标注的晴天与雪天数据。现有车载数据集要么在两种天气下标注数据不足,要么依赖去雪算法生成合成晴天数据,而合成数据常缺乏真实感并引入额外域偏移,干扰评估准确性。为此,我们提出CADC+,首个面向冬季自动驾驶的配对天气域适应数据集。CADC+基于加拿大恶劣驾驶条件数据集(CADC),采用与原雪天数据同路段、同期采集的晴天数据进行配对构建。通过精确匹配,有效降低除积雪外其他因素带来的域偏移。我们还利用CADC+进行初步实验,发现雪天同时引入随机性与认知性不确定性,表现为噪声叠加与独立数据域,显著影响检测性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
The impact of snowfall on 3D object detection performance remains underexplored. Conducting such an evaluation requires a dataset with sufficient labelled data from both weather conditions, ideally captured in the same driving environment. Current driving datasets with LiDAR point clouds either do not provide enough labelled data in both snowy and clear weather conditions, or rely on de-snowing methods to generate synthetic clear weather. Synthetic data often lacks realism and introduces an additional domain shift that confounds accurate evaluations. To address these challenges, we present CADC+, the first paired weather domain adaptation dataset for autonomous driving in winter conditions. CADC+ extends the Canadian Adverse Driving Conditions dataset (CADC) using clear weather data that was recorded on the same roads and in the same period as CADC. To create CADC+, we pair each CADC sequence with a clear weather sequence that matches the snowy sequence as closely as possible. CADC+ thus minimizes the domain shift resulting from factors unrelated to the presence of snow. We also present some preliminary results using CADC+ to evaluate the effect of snow on 3D object detection performance. We observe that snow introduces a combination of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties, acting as both noise and a distinct data domain.
