| contents | Monocular 3D object detection is challenging due to the lack of accurate depth. However, existing depth-assisted solutions still exhibit inferior performance, whose reason is universally acknowledged as the unsatisfactory accuracy of monocular depth estimation models. In this paper, we revisit monocular 3D object detection from the depth perspective and formulate an additional issue as the limited 3D structure-aware capability of existing depth representations (e.g., depth one-hot encoding or depth distribution). To address this issue, we introduce a novel Depth Thickness Field approach to embed clear 3D structures of the scenes. Specifically, we present MonoDTF, a scene-to-instance depth-adapted network for monocular 3D object detection. The framework mainly comprises a Scene-Level Depth Retargeting (SDR) module and an Instance-Level Spatial Refinement (ISR) module. The former retargets traditional depth representations to the proposed depth thickness field, incorporating the scene-level perception of 3D structures. The latter refines the voxel space with the guidance of instances, enhancing the 3D instance-aware capability of the depth thickness field and thus improving detection accuracy. Extensive experiments on the KITTI and Waymo datasets demonstrate our superiority to existing state-of-the-art (SoTA) methods and the universality when equipped with different depth estimation models. The code will be available. |
