解决激光雷达跟踪中新目标被忽略的问题,性能超越传统方法
SCATR: Mitigating New Instance Suppression in LiDAR-based Tracking-by-Attention via Second Chance Assignment and Track Query Dropout
- 引入双机会分配和轨迹查询丢弃,缓解检测与跟踪冲突
- 在nuScenes上提升7.6% AMOTA,缩小与检测类方法的差距
- 适合关注激光雷达多目标跟踪鲁棒性的研究者
基于激光雷达的注意力追踪框架(TBA)固有地存在高误报率,导致性能显著落后于传统的基于检测的追踪方法(TBD)。本文提出SCATR,一种新型激光雷达TBA模型,系统性解决这一核心挑战。其核心创新是两种与架构无关的训练策略:双机会分配和轨迹查询丢弃。双机会分配通过在二分匹配前将未分配的轨迹查询拼接到候选查询中,使这些查询获得第二次匹配机会,有效缓解了追踪中检测与追踪任务的内在冲突。轨迹查询丢弃是一种训练方法,通过多样化监督对象查询配置,提升解码器对不同轨迹查询集合的鲁棒性,增强对丢失或新生轨迹的处理能力。在nuScenes追踪基准上的实验表明,SCATR在激光雷达TBA方法中达到最先进性能,相比之前工作提升7.6% AMOTA,成功弥合了激光雷达TBA与TBD方法间长期存在的性能差距。消融实验进一步验证了两种策略的有效性与泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
LiDAR-based tracking-by-attention (TBA) frameworks inherently suffer from high false negative errors, leading to a significant performance gap compared to traditional LiDAR-based tracking-by-detection (TBD) methods. This paper introduces SCATR, a novel LiDAR-based TBA model designed to address this fundamental challenge systematically. SCATR leverages recent progress in vision-based tracking and incorporates targeted training strategies specifically adapted for LiDAR. Our work's core innovations are two architecture-agnostic training strategies for TBA methods: Second Chance Assignment and Track Query Dropout. Second Chance Assignment is a novel ground truth assignment that concatenates unassigned track queries to the proposal queries before bipartite matching, giving these track queries a second chance to be assigned to a ground truth object and effectively mitigating the conflict between detection and tracking tasks inherent in tracking-by-attention. Track Query Dropout is a training method that diversifies supervised object query configurations to efficiently train the decoder to handle different track query sets, enhancing robustness to missing or newborn tracks. Experiments on the nuScenes tracking benchmark demonstrate that SCATR achieves state-of-the-art performance among LiDAR-based TBA methods, outperforming previous works by 7.6\% AMOTA and successfully bridging the long-standing performance gap between LiDAR-based TBA and TBD methods. Ablation studies further validate the effectiveness and generalization of Second Chance Assignment and Track Query Dropout.
