Abstract

Simultaneous localization, classification and association – a pool of the most important tasks in computer vision. With the spread of neural networks to robotic platforms, it has become necessary to develop high-quality and compact machine learning models that allow extensive target object description. In this paper, we supplement the nuScenes dataset with segmentation masks by using the heavy HTC neural network, and also present an algorithm for merging masks with current ground-truth observations. In the end, we are introducing a model that allows us to solve 4 tasks simultaneously using monocular video only: instance segmentation, 2D and 3D rotated box detection, object tracking. The result model runs real-time 18 FPS on NVIDIA RTX2080Ti.
