DetDiffusion: Synergizing Generative and Perceptive Models for Enhanced Data Generation and Perception

Yibo Wang, Ruiyuan Gao, Kai Chen et al.

Current perceptive models heavily depend on resource-intensive datasets, prompting the need for innovative solutions. Leveraging recent advances in diffusion models, synthetic data, by constructing image inputs from various annotations, proves beneficial for downstream tasks. While prior methods have separately addressed generative and perceptive models, DetDiffusion, for the first time, harmonizes both, tackling the challenges in generating effective data for perceptive models. To enhance image generation with perceptive models, we introduce perception-aware loss (P.A. loss) through segmentation, improving both quality and controllability. To boost the performance of specific perceptive models, our method customizes data augmentation by extracting and utilizing perception-aware attribute (P.A. Attr) during generation. Experimental results from the object detection task highlight DetDiffusion's superior performance, establishing a new state-of-the-art in layout-guided generation. Furthermore, image syntheses from DetDiffusion can effectively augment training data, significantly enhancing downstream detection performance.

ECCV 2024 W-CODA: 1st Workshop on Multimodal Perception and Comprehension of Corner Cases in Autonomous Driving

Kai Chen, Ruiyuan Gao, Lanqing Hong et al.

In this paper, we present details of the 1st W-CODA workshop, held in conjunction with the ECCV 2024. W-CODA aims to explore next-generation solutions for autonomous driving corner cases, empowered by state-of-the-art multimodal perception and comprehension techniques. 5 Speakers from both academia and industry are invited to share their latest progress and opinions. We collect research papers and hold a dual-track challenge, including both corner case scene understanding and generation. As the pioneering effort, we will continuously bridge the gap between frontier autonomous driving techniques and fully intelligent, reliable self-driving agents robust towards corner cases.
