Multi-frame 3D Object Detection

Multi-object Tracking

tracking-by-detection: using detector boxes for associations and Kalman filter for state updates.

Object Track Data Extraction

Object-centric Auto Labeling

Divide and conquer: motion state estimation

A linear classifier using a few heuristic features from the object track’s boxes can already achieve 99%+ motion state classification accuracy for vehicles.
