Semi-Supervised 3d Object Detection Via Adaptive Pseudo-Labeling

3D object detection is an important task in computer vision. Most existing methods require a large number of high-quality 3D annotations, which are expensive to collect. Especially for outdoor scenes, the problem becomes more severe due to the sparseness of the point cloud and the complexity of urban scenes. Semi-supervised learning is a promising technique to mitigate the data annotation issue. Inspired by this, we propose a novel semi-supervised framework based on pseudo-labeling for outdoor 3D object detection tasks. We design the Adaptive Class Confidence Selection module (ACCS) to generate high-quality pseudo-labels. Besides, we propose Holistic Point Cloud Augmentation (HPCA) for unlabeled data to improve robustness. Experiments on the KITTI benchmark demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
