Technical Report for Argoverse Challenges on 4D Occupancy Forecasting

This report presents our Le3DE2E_Occ solution for 4D Occupancy Forecasting in Argoverse Challenges at CVPR 2023 Workshop on Autonomous Driving (WAD). Our solution consists of a strong LiDAR-based Bird's Eye View (BEV) encoder with temporal fusion and a two-stage decoder, which combines a DETR head and a UNet decoder. The solution was tested on the Argoverse 2 sensor dataset to evaluate the occupancy state 3 seconds in the future. Our solution achieved 18% lower L1 Error (3.57) than the baseline and got the 1 place on the 4D Occupancy Forecasting task in Argoverse Challenges at CVPR 2023.

ReIDTrack: Multi-Object Track and Segmentation Without Motion

In recent years, dominant Multi-object tracking (MOT) and segmentation (MOTS) methods mainly follow the tracking-by-detection paradigm. Transformer-based end-to-end (E2E) solutions bring some ideas to MOT and MOTS, but they cannot achieve a new state-of-the-art (SOTA) performance in major MOT and MOTS benchmarks. Detection and association are two main modules of the tracking-by-detection paradigm. Association techniques mainly depend on the combination of motion and appearance information. As deep learning has been recently developed, the performance of the detection and appearance model is rapidly improved. These trends made us consider whether we can achieve SOTA based on only high-performance detection and appearance model. Our paper mainly focuses on exploring this direction based on CBNetV2 with Swin-B as a detection model and MoCo-v2 as a self-supervised appearance model. Motion information and IoU mapping were removed during the association. Our method wins 1st place on the MOTS track and wins 2nd on the MOT track in the CVPR2023 WAD workshop. We hope our simple and effective method can give some insights to the MOT and MOTS research community. Source code will be released under this git repository
