3D object detection in the real crowded scene is still a challenging task due to occlusion and density change. We propose a part-aware 3D single-stage detector with local and non-local attention (PLNL-3DSSD) to fully use part information and inter-object relation. A primary part feature fusion is proposed for encoding the entire box feature vector by introducing semantic parts dividing. We develop a parallel part branch for robust and accurate object detection. We also develop local and non-local attention in set abstraction for enhancing data flow transfer between objects. Our method ranks second in single-stage 3D object detector on the KITTI 3D car detection benchmark while ensuring satisfactory efficiency.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
