Multiview Detection with Shadow Transformer (and View-Coherent Data Augmentation)
Yunzhong Hou Liang Zheng

Abstract
Multiview detection incorporates multiple camera views to deal withocclusions, and its central problem is multiview aggregation. Given feature mapprojections from multiple views onto a common ground plane, thestate-of-the-art method addresses this problem via convolution, which appliesthe same calculation regardless of object locations. However, suchtranslation-invariant behaviors might not be the best choice, as objectfeatures undergo various projection distortions according to their positionsand cameras. In this paper, we propose a novel multiview detector, MVDeTr, thatadopts a newly introduced shadow transformer to aggregate multiviewinformation. Unlike convolutions, shadow transformer attends differently atdifferent positions and cameras to deal with various shadow-like distortions.We propose an effective training scheme that includes a new view-coherent dataaugmentation method, which applies random augmentations while maintainingmultiview consistency. On two multiview detection benchmarks, we report newstate-of-the-art accuracy with the proposed system. Code is available athttps://github.com/hou-yz/MVDeTr.
