Abstract

A semi-supervised learning method for object detection in an autonomous vehicle and a device for performing semi-supervised learning for object detection in an autonomous vehicle can include receiving, by a server, no-label voxel data from a vehicle, performing, by the server, a data-based update on a server object detection model on the basis of label voxel data and the no-label voxel data, determining, by the server, a loss value on the basis of the label voxel data and the no-label voxel data, and performing, by the server, a loss-based update on the server object detection model using the loss value.

1. A semi-supervised learning method for object detection in an autonomous vehicle, the semi-supervised learning method comprising:

receiving, by a server, no-label voxel data from a vehicle;

performing, by the server, a data-based update on a server object detection model on the basis of label voxel data and the no-label voxel data;

determining, by the server, a loss value on the basis of the label voxel data and the no-label voxel data; and

performing, by the server, a loss-based update on the server object detection model using the loss value,

wherein the loss value includes a supervised loss and a consistency loss,

the supervised loss is determined on the basis of a determination result obtained by inputting object information included in the label voxel data and the label voxel data into the server object detection model,

the consistency loss includes a first consistency loss based on a no-label determination result and a second consistency loss based on a label determination result,

the first consistency loss is determined on the basis of a first sub-no-label determination result obtained by inputting the no-label voxel data into the server object detection model and a second sub-no-label determination result obtained by inputting the image-processed no-label voxel data into the server object detection model, and

the second consistency loss is determined on the basis of a first sub-label determination result obtained by inputting the label voxel data into the server object detection model and a second sub-label determination result obtained by inputting the image-processed label voxel data into the server object detection model.

2. The semi-supervised learning method of claim 1 , wherein the data-based update is performed on the basis of the label voxel data, image-processed label voxel data obtained by performing image processing on the label voxel data, the no-label voxel data, and image processed no-label voxel data obtained by performing image processing on the no-label voxel data, and

the image-processed label voxel data and the image-processed no-label voxel data are generated through image processing based on a travel direction of the vehicle.

3. A server for performing semi-supervised learning for object detection in an autonomous vehicle, the server comprising:

a communicator configured to receive no-label voxel data from a vehicle; and

a processor configured to perform a data-based update on a server object detection model on the basis of label voxel data and the no-label voxel data, determine a loss value on the basis of the label voxel data and the no-label voxel data, and perform a loss-based update on the server object detection model using the loss value,

the consistency loss includes a first consistency loss based on a no-label determination result and a second consistency loss based on a label determination result,

the first consistency loss is determined on the basis of a first sub-no-label determination result obtained by inputting the no-label voxel data into the server object detection model and a second sub-no-label determination result obtained by inputting the image-processed no-label voxel data into the server object detection model, and

the second consistency loss is determined on the basis of a first sub-label determination result obtained by inputting the label voxel data into the server object detection model and a second sub-label determination result obtained by inputting the image-processed label voxel data into the server object detection model.

4. The server of claim 3 , wherein the data-based update is performed on the basis of the label voxel data, image-processed label voxel data obtained by performing image processing on the label voxel data, the no-label voxel data, and image-processed no-label voxel data obtained by performing image-processing on the no-label voxel data, and
