ET-Former: Efficient Triplane Deformable Attention for 3D Semantic Scene Completion From Monocular Camera
Not on the map. Why?
Abstract (arXiv)
We introduce ET-Former, a novel end-to-end algorithm for semantic scene completion using a single monocular camera. Our approach generates a semantic occupancy map from single RGB observation while simultaneously providing uncertainty estimates for semantic predictions. By designing a triplane-based deformable attention mechanism, our approach improves geometric understanding of the scene than other SOTA approaches and reduces noise in semantic predictions. Additionally, through the use of a Conditional Variational AutoEncoder (CVAE), we estimate the uncertainties of these predictions. The generated semantic and uncertainty maps will help formulate navigation strategies that facilitate safe and permissible decision making in the future. Evaluated on the Semantic-KITTI dataset, ET-Former achieves the highest Intersection over Union (IoU) and mean IoU (mIoU) scores while maintaining the lowest GPU memory usage, surpassing state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods. It improves the SOTA scores of IoU from 44.71 to 51.49 and mIoU from 15.04 to 16.30 on SeamnticKITTI test, with a notably low training memory consumption of 10.9 GB.
