Dear Colleagues and Students,

The State Key Laboratory of Internet of Things for Smart City would like to invite you to join our “IOTSC Talk Series” on 15/02/2022 (Wednesday).
We are pleased to invite Prof. Jianbing SHEN from IOTSC as the speaker.

A New Perspective from Industry and Academia for 3D Point Cloud Object Detection in Autonomous Driving Cars
Speaker: Prof. Jianbing SHEN
Date: 15/02/2022 (Wednesday)
Time: 16:00 – 17:00
Language: English
Venue: N21-5/F Exhibition Hall

Abstract:
In this talk, I will first introduce two commonly used autonomous driving system solutions in both industry and academia: pure camera-based perception system and the multi-sensor system solution that integrates Lidar and camera sensors. Then, I will focus on the 3D point cloud object detection algorithms for self-driving cars scenarios, including the semi-supervised 3D object detection algorithm based on a small number of labeled point cloud data with spatial-temporal analysis, and the weakly supervised 3D object detection algorithm based on semi-automatic annotation on large-scale unlabeled point cloud data. This research aims to make better use of labeled and unlabeled point cloud data to improve the accuracy of 3D point cloud object detectors and the safety of self-driving cars systems. Then, I will also share the new ideas of the proposed multimodal fusion framework with data augmentation for achieving better 3D object detection performance in two 1st prize winners challenges: IEEE ICRA 2021 Challenge on the nuScenes detection for the AI Driving Olympics in autonomous driving, and IEEE CVPR 2022 ARGOVERSE 3D Object Detection Challenge for Autonomous Driving. Finally, I will also discuss more about the future development of 3D point cloud object detection methods in both industry and academia societies.
