RECO: Region-Aware Compensation for Extrinsic Perturbations in Roadside 3D Detection

Engineering notes

However, existing methods suffer from high sensitivity to camera extrinsics; even slight deviations (whether manifesting as transient jitter or persistent drift) can be significantly amplified by projective geometry. Extensive experiments on the DAIR-V2X-I and Rope3D benchmarks under extrinsic perturbations demonstrate consistent improvements over state-of-the-art baselines across both yaw and $z$-axis deviations.

Original abstract

In intelligent transportation systems, roadside 3D object detection provides wide-area perception crucial for traffic understanding, cooperative early warning, and safe autonomous driving. However, existing methods suffer from high sensitivity to camera extrinsics; even slight deviations (whether manifesting as transient jitter or persistent drift) can be significantly amplified by projective geometry. This cascade results in severe feature misalignment and degraded localization. To mitigate this limitation, we propose RECO, a region-aware extrinsic compensation framework that corrects extrinsics using piecewise 6-DoF pose offsets. RECO predicts a learnable range boundary to partition the scene into near and far regions, estimating region-specific pose corrections. A differentiable sigmoid gate then smoothly blends the two compensated geometries to preserve continuous BEV sampling and facilitate stable optimization. To supervise the refinement of extrinsics, we introduce an auxiliary reprojection loss that compares 2D bounding boxes projected from 3D ground truth against 2D annotations, optimizing it jointly with the standard detection objective. Extensive experiments on the DAIR-V2X-I and Rope3D benchmarks under extrinsic perturbations demonstrate consistent improvements over state-of-the-art baselines across both yaw and $z$-axis deviations. RECO also generalizes from transient perturbations to persistent shifts, maintaining highly competitive performance under strict calibration uncertainty.
