Running time:0.11 s
Environment:Titan Xp (PyTorch)

Method Description:
We present a fully end-to-end 3D object detection
framework that can infer oriented 3D boxes solely
from BEV images by using a two-stage object
detector and ad-hoc regression branches,
eliminating the need for a post-processing stage.

NOTE: This submission uses the same method
described in our ITSC 2020 paper but applies a new
50 x 45 m BEV as input. An extended journal
publication discussing this change is currently
under review.
Parameters:
Final model: ResNet-50-FPN + real dimensions
regression + height regression + hybrid yaw
estimation (12 bins + regression).

Detailed Results

Object detection and orientation estimation results. Results for object detection are given in terms of average precision (AP) and results for joint object detection and orientation estimation are provided in terms of average orientation similarity (AOS).
