Pipeline

pipeline The framework of our Self-Ensembling Single-Stage object Detector (SE-SSD) with a teacher SSD and a student SSD. To start, we feed the input point cloud to the teacher to produce relatively precise bounding boxes and confidence, and take these predictions (after global transformations) as soft targets to supervise the student with our consistency loss. On the top branch, we apply the same global transformations to the input, then perform our shape-aware data augmentation to generate augmented samples as inputs to the student. Further, we formulate the Orientation-aware Distance-IoU loss to supervise the student with hard targets, and update the teacher parameters based on the student parameters with the exponential moving average (EMA) strategy. In this way, the framework can boost the precisions of the detector significantly without incurring extra computation during the inference.
