Temporal Data Processing for 3D Object Detection in Autonomous Driving

Self-supervised Scene Flow-based 3D Object Detection

We aim to use temporal features learned through self-supervised scene flow task for 3D object detection. Please check our paper published in ECCV 2022. Also, our codes can be reached on Github.

Multi-frame Object-level 3D Object Detection

We aim to aggregate regional object features from multiple frames to obtain more representative temporal features that can be used for more accurate 3D detections. Please check our papers published in IEEE Intelligent Vehicles Symposium 2021 and IEEE Access in 2021. Also, our codes can be reached on Github.
