Abstract

3D scene flow presents the 3D motion of each point in the 3D space, which forms the fundamental 3D motion perception for autonomous driving and server robots. Although the RGBD camera or LiDAR capture discrete 3D points in space, the objects and motions usually are continuous in the macro world. That is, the objects keep themselves consistent as they flow from the current frame to the next frame. Based on this insight, the Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN) is utilized to self-learn 3D scene flow with no need for ground truth. The fake point cloud of the second frame is synthesized from the predicted scene flow and the point cloud of the first frame. The adversarial training of the generator and discriminator is realized through synthesizing indistinguishable fake point cloud and discriminating the real point cloud and the synthesized fake point cloud. The experiments on KITTI scene flow dataset show that our method realizes promising results without ground truth. Just like a human observing a real-world scene, the proposed approach is capable of determining the consistency of the scene at different moments in spite of the exact flow value of each point is unknown in advance.
