One of the key problems in 3D object detection is to reduce the accuracy gap between methods based on LiDAR sensors and those based on monocular cameras. A recently proposed framework for monocular 3D detection based on Pseudo-Stereo has received considerable attention in the community. However, three problems have been discovered in existing practices: (1) relying on a high-performance monocular depth estimator, (2) the generated image suffering from visual holes, deformations, and artifacts, and (3) being difficult to be compatible with geometry-based stereo detectors.
