Enhancing 3D Object Detection by Using Neural Network with Self-adaptive Thresholding
<|reference_start|>Enhancing 3D Object Detection by Using Neural Network with Self-adaptive Thresholding: Robust 3D object detection remains a pivotal concern in the domain of autonomous field robotics. Despite notable enhancements in detection accuracy across standard datasets, real-world urban environments, characterized by their unstructured and dynamic nature, frequently precipitate an elevated incidence of false positives, thereby undermining the reliability of existing detection paradigms. In this context, our study introduces an advanced post-processing algorithm that modulates detection thresholds dynamically relative to the distance from the ego object. Traditional perception systems typically utilize a uniform threshold, which often leads to decreased efficacy in detecting distant objects. In contrast, our proposed methodology employs a Neural Network with a self-adaptive thresholding mechanism that significantly attenuates false negatives while concurrently diminishing false positives, particularly in complex urban settings. Empirical results substantiate that our algorithm not only augments the performance of 3D object detection models in diverse urban and adverse weather scenarios but also establishes a new benchmark for adaptive thresholding techniques in field robotics.<|reference_end|>
