Towards Robust 3D Object Detection In Rainy Conditions

LiDAR sensors are used in autonomous driving applications to accurately perceive the environment. However, they are affected by adverse weather conditions such as snow, fog, and rain. These everyday phenomena introduce unwanted noise into the measurements, severely degrading the performance of LiDAR-based perception systems. In this work, we propose a framework for improving the robustness of LiDAR-based 3D object detectors against road spray. Our approach uses a state-of-the-art adverse weather detection network to filter out spray from the LiDAR point cloud, which is then used as input for the object detector. In this way, the detected objects are less affected by the adverse weather in the scene, resulting in a more accurate perception of the environment. In addition to adverse weather filtering, we explore the use of radar targets to further filter false positive detections. Tests on real-world data show that our approach improves the robustness to road spray of several popular 3D object detectors.
Adaptive Multi-Scale Optical-to-SAR Image Matching

Image matching is the critical technique for heterogeneous information fusion in the big data era. To solve the nonlinear radiation distortion problem between optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, an adaptive multi-scale matching method (AMM) was proposed. First, the edge features of two images were extracted in combination according to their imaging mechanisms. Second, core point matching combining phase features was applied to adaptively determine the approximate offset between two image centers. Third, matching points were obtained by wavelet multi-scale matching. Finally, the geometric relationship of matched images was determined after the outlier removal using the fast sample consensus (FSC) method. The matching performance of the proposed method was quantitatively compared with that of histogram of orientated phase congruency (HOPC) and mutual information (MI). The experiment shows that the proposed method is superior to HOPC and MI in terms of matching accuracy and matching efficiency.
