Cam4DOCC: Benchmark for Camera-Only 4D Occupancy Forecasting in Autonomous Driving Applications

CVPR 24 2024 52.5 benchmark, application

TLDR

Introduces Cam4DOcc, a benchmark for camera-only 4D occupancy forecasting in autonomous driving, using multiple datasets and baselines.

Reasoning

Strengths: provides a standardized benchmark and baselines for spatiotemporal occupancy prediction, leveraging real-world datasets. Weaknesses: limited to camera-only input and does not address interactive or model-based reinforcement learning scenarios.

Innovations

Proposal of Cam4DOcc, a new benchmark for camera-only 4D occupancy forecasting
Introduction of four baseline types: static-world occupancy model, voxelization of point cloud prediction, 2D-3D instance-based prediction, and a novel end-to-end 4D occupancy forecasting network
Standardized evaluation protocol for multiple tasks in autonomous driving scenarios

Methodology

The benchmark is built from multiple publicly available datasets (nuScenes, nuScenes-Occupancy, Lyft-Level5) providing sequential occupancy states of general movable and static objects along with their 3D backward centripetal flow. Four baseline types are implemented from diverse camera-based perception and prediction approaches, including a novel end-to-end 4D occupancy forecasting network. A standardized evaluation protocol is provided for preset multiple tasks to compare performance on present and future occupancy estimation.

Key Results

The benchmark enables comparison of all four baseline methods on present and future occupancy estimation tasks for objects of interest in autonomous driving scenarios.
