Point cloud data labeling is considered a time-consuming and expensive task in autonomous driving, whereas annotation-free learning training can avoid it by learning point cloud representations from unannotated data. In this paper, we propose AFOV, a novel 3D Annotation-Free framework assisted by 2D…
Manual annotation of 3D bounding boxes in large-scale 3D scenes is expensive and time-consuming. This motivates the exploration of annotation-free 3D object detection using unlabeled point cloud data. Existing unsupervised 3D detection frameworks predominantly identify moving objects via scene flow,…
Parallel LiDAR emerges as an innovative framework for next-generation intelligent LiDAR systems in autonomous driving. In parallel LiDAR research, V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) cooperative perception is a promising technology which can effectively enhance perception range and accuracy through inter-agent
Process reward model (PRM) has been proven effective in test-time scaling of LLM on challenging reasoning tasks. However, the reward hacking induced by PRM hinders its successful applications in reinforcement fine-tuning. We find the primary cause of reward hacking induced by PRM is that: the canoni…
To develop the next generation of intelligent LiDARs, we propose a novel framework of parallel LiDARs and construct a hardware prototype in our experimental platform, DAWN (Digital Artificial World for Natural). It emphasizes the tight integration of physical and digital space in LiDAR systems, with…
Preference-based Reinforcement Learning (PbRL) circumvents the need for reward engineering by harnessing human preferences as the reward signal. However, current PbRL methods excessively depend on high-quality feedback from domain experts, which results in a lack of robustness. In this paper, we pre…
Steering control is a vital function for autonomous vehicles, whose performance largely determines the driving safety. The widely used feedback steering controllers degrade significantly when vehicles drive at high speeds. This is mainly because these controllers can not effectively exploit nonlinea
"We propose a precise and efficient normal estimation method that can deal with noise and nonuniform density for unstructured 3D point clouds. Unlike existing approaches that directly take patches and ignore the local neighborhood relationships, which make them susceptible to challenging regions suc…
How to learn effective features from large-scale point clouds for semantic segmentation has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Addressing this problem, we propose a learnable module that learns Spatial Contextual Features from large-scale point clouds, called SCF in this paper. The prop…
Even with a still image, humans can ratiocinate various visual cause-and-effect descriptions before, at present, and after, as well as beyond the given image. However, it is challenging for models to achieve such task–the visual event ratiocination, owing to the limitations of time and space. To thi…
Credit card transaction fraud costs billions of dollars to card issuers every year. Besides, the credit card transaction dataset is very skewed, there are much fewer samples of frauds than legitimate transactions. Due to the data security and privacy, different banks are usually not allowed to share…
Initialization is essential to monocular Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problems. This paper focuses on a novel initialization method for monocular SLAM based on planar features. The algorithm starts by homography estimation in a sliding window. It then proceeds to a global plane optim…
Visual reasoning between visual image and natural language description is a long-standing challenge in computer vision. While recent approaches offer a great promise by compositionality or relational computing, most of them are oppressed by the challenge of training with datasets containing only a l…
The choice of model orientation is a very important issue in Additive Manufacturing (AM). In this paper, the model orientation problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem, aiming at minimizing the building time, the surface quality, and the supporting area. Then we convert the pr…
