SB-BEVFusion: Enhancing the Robustness against Sensor Malfunction and Corruptions

Multimodal sensor fusion has demonstrated remarkable performance improvements over unimodal approaches in 3D object detection for autonomous vehicles. Typically, existing methods transform multimodal data from independent sensors, such as camera and LiDAR, into a unified bird's-eye view (BEV) representation for fusion. Although effective in ideal conditions, this strategy suffers from substantial performance deterioration when camera or LiDAR data are missing, corrupted, or noisy. To address this vulnerability, we develop a framework-agnostic fusion module for camera and LiDAR data that allows for handling cases when one of the two modalities is missing or corrupted. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our module, we instantiate it in BEVFusion [1], a well-established framework to combine camera and LiDAR data for 3D object detection. By means of quantitative experiments on the MultiCorrupt dataset, we demonstrate that our module achieves favorable performance improvements under scenarios of missing and corrupted modalities, substantially outperforming existing unified representation approaches across a wide range of sensor deterioration scenarios and reaching state-of-the-art performance in scenarios of corrupted modality due to extreme weather conditions and sensor failure.

Generative Cooperative Learning for Unsupervised Video Anomaly Detection

Video anomaly detection is well investigated in weakly-supervised and one-class classification (OCC) settings. However, unsupervised video anomaly detection methods are quite sparse, likely because anomalies are less frequent in occurrence and usually not well-defined, which when coupled with the absence of ground truth supervision, could adversely affect the performance of the learning algorithms. This problem is challenging yet rewarding as it can completely eradicate the costs of obtaining laborious annotations and enable such systems to be deployed without human intervention. To this end, we propose a novel unsupervised Generative Cooperative Learning (GCL) approach for video anomaly detection that exploits the low frequency of anomalies towards building a cross-supervision between a generator and a discriminator. In essence, both networks get trained in a cooperative fashion, thereby allowing unsupervised learning. We conduct extensive experiments on two large-scale video anomaly detection datasets, UCF crime, and ShanghaiTech. Consistent improvement over the existing state-of-the-art unsupervised and OCC methods corroborate the effectiveness of our approach.

Old is Gold: Redefining the Adversarially Learned One-Class Classifier Training Paradigm

A popular method for anomaly detection is to use the generator of an adversarial network to formulate anomaly scores over reconstruction loss of input. Due to the rare occurrence of anomalies, optimizing such networks can be a cumbersome task. Another possible approach is to use both generator and discriminator for anomaly detection. However, attributed to the involvement of adversarial training, this model is often unstable in a way that the performance fluctuates drastically with each training step. In this study, we propose a framework that effectively generates stable results across a wide range of training steps and allows us to use both the generator and the discriminator of an adversarial model for efficient and robust anomaly detection. Our approach transforms the fundamental role of a discriminator from identifying real and fake data to distinguishing between good and bad quality reconstructions. To this end, we prepare training examples for the good quality reconstruction by employing the current generator, whereas poor quality examples are obtained by utilizing an old state of the same generator. This way, the discriminator learns to detect subtle distortions that often appear in reconstructions of the anomaly inputs. Extensive experiments performed on Caltech-256 and MNIST image datasets for novelty detection show superior results. Furthermore, on UCSD Ped2 video dataset for anomaly detection, our model achieves a frame-level AUC of 98.1%, surpassing recent state-of-the-art methods.
