Bounding Boxes, Segmentations and Object Coordinates: How Important is Recognition for 3D Scene Flow Estimation in Autonomous Driving Scenarios?

TLDR
The importance of recognition granularity is investigated, from coarse 2D bounding box estimates over 2D instance segmentations to fine-grained 3D object part predictions, and it is observed that the instance segmentation cue is by far strongest, in the authors' setting.
Abstract
Existing methods for 3D scene flow estimation often fail in the presence of large displacement or local ambiguities, e.g., at texture-less or reflective surfaces. However, these challenges are omnipresent in dynamic road scenes, which is the focus of this work. Our main contribution is to overcome these 3D motion estimation problems by exploiting recognition. In particular, we investigate the importance of recognition granularity, from coarse 2D bounding box estimates over 2D instance segmentations to fine-grained 3D object part predictions. We compute these cues using CNNs trained on a newly annotated dataset of stereo images and integrate them into a CRF-based model for robust 3D scene flow estimation - an approach we term Instance Scene Flow. We analyze the importance of each recognition cue in an ablation study and observe that the instance segmentation cue is by far strongest, in our setting. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method on the challenging KITTI 2015 scene flow benchmark where we achieve state-of-the-art performance at the time of submission.

A Deep Temporal Fusion Framework for Scene Flow Using a Learnable Motion Model and Occlusions

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a data-driven approach for temporal fusion of scene flow estimates in a multi-frame setup to overcome the issue of occlusion, which does not rely on a constant motion model, but instead learns a generic temporal relation of motion from data.
