GeoBEV: Learning Geometric BEV Representation for Multi-view 3D Object Detection
<|reference_start|>GeoBEV: Learning Geometric BEV Representation for Multi-view 3D Object Detection: Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) representation has emerged as a mainstream paradigm for multi-view 3D object detection, demonstrating impressive perceptual capabilities. However, existing methods overlook the geometric quality of BEV representation, leaving it in a low-resolution state and failing to restore the authentic geometric information of the scene. In this paper, we identify the reasons why previous approaches are constrained by low BEV representation resolution and propose Radial-Cartesian BEV Sampling (RC-Sampling), enabling efficient generation of high-resolution dense BEV representations without the need for complex operators. Additionally, we design a novel In-Box Label to substitute the traditional depth label generated from the LiDAR points. This label reflects the actual geometric structure of objects rather than just their surfaces, injecting real-world geometric information into the BEV representation. Furthermore, in conjunction with the In-Box Label, a Centroid-Aware Inner Loss (CAI Loss) is developed to capture the fine-grained inner geometric structure of objects. Finally, we integrate the aforementioned modules into a novel multi-view 3D object detection framework, dubbed GeoBEV. Extensive experiments on the nuScenes dataset exhibit that GeoBEV achieves state-of-the-art performance, highlighting its effectiveness.<|reference_end|>
