SOAP: Vision-Centric 3D Semantic Scene Completion with Scene-Adaptive Decoder and Occluded Region-Aware View Projection

Existing view transformations in vision-centric 3D Semantic Scene Completion (SSC) inevitably experience erroneous feature duplication in the reconstructed voxel space due to occlusions, leading to a dilution of informative contexts. Furthermore, semantic classes exhibit high variability in their appearance in real-world driving scenarios. To address these issues, we introduce a novel 3D SSC method, called SOAP, including two key components: an occluded region-aware view projection and a scene-adaptive decoder. The occluded region-aware view projection effectively converts 2D image features into voxel space, refining the duplicated features of occluded regions using information gathered from previous observations. The sceneadaptive decoder guides query embeddings to learn diverse driving environments based on a comprehensive semantic repository. Extensive experiments validate that the proposed SOAP significantly outperforms existing methods for the vision-centric 3D SSC on automated driving datasets, SemanticKITTI and SSCBench.
