Generalizing state-of-the-art object detectors for autonomous vehicles in unseen environments

作者:

Highlights:

• Different scenarios are used to generalize object detectors to new test domains.

• Adverse data scarcity for object detection in autonomous vehicle is addressed.

• The fragility of object detectors against different distortions is alleviated.

• Domain shift problem is mitigated through synthetic data generation.

• The impact of different strategies on cross-domain robustness is investigated.
