LISO trains 3D object detectors using only unlabeled lidar point cloud sequences by leveraging motion cues derived from self-supervised lidar scene flow. This framework achieves performance comparable to supervised methods on several real-world datasets, enabling more scalable and cost-effective perception for autonomous driving.

Key insights

  • Motion cues derived from 3D scene flow are effective for bootstrapping 3D object detection, allowing initial object discovery without manual labels.
  • An iterative self-training process can successfully generalize from motion-detected objects to recognizing all potentially movable objects based on their appearance alone.
  • A conservative approach to pseudo ground truth generation and trajectory regularization during tracking improves the quality of pseudo labels and enhances training stability.
