3D object detection based on LiDAR point clouds has been widely explored in autonomous driving. Federated Learning (FL), with its inherent advantages in distributed privacy protection and scalable multi-vehicle collaboration, presents a promising alternative to centralized training. However, its real-world deployment encounters the major challenges: (1) severe LiDAR data heterogeneity across vehicles hinders global model convergence; (2) inherent conflicts between global model consistency and local personalization. To address the challenges, we propose TeamFed, a FL framework for 3D object detection inspired by organizational principles in human teams. By incorporating a multi-leader collaboration paradigm and a personalized sampling strategy, TeamFed enables efficient global model training and effective local personalization tuning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TeamFed achieves 15.8% and 22.1% performance improvements in global and personalized models respectively under heterogeneous autonomous driving scenarios, approaching or even surpassing the performance of centralized training.

摘要

3D object detection based on LiDAR point clouds has been widely explored in autonomous driving. Federated Learning (FL), with its inherent advantages in distributed privacy protection and scalable multi-vehicle collaboration, presents a promising alternative to centralized training. However, its real-world deployment encounters the major challenges: (1) severe LiDAR data heterogeneity across vehicles hinders global model convergence; (2) inherent conflicts between global model consistency and local personalization. To address the challenges, we propose TeamFed, a FL framework for 3D object detection inspired by organizational principles in human teams. By incorporating a multi-leader collaboration paradigm and a personalized sampling strategy, TeamFed enables efficient global model training and effective local personalization tuning. Extensive experiments demonstrate that TeamFed achieves 15.8% and 22.1% performance improvements in global and personalized models respectively under heterogeneous autonomous driving scenarios, approaching or even surpassing the performance of centralized training.
