Abstract: Well-performing deep learning methods are essential in today's perception of robotic systems such as autonomous driving vehicles. Ongoing research is due to the real-life demands for robust deep learning models against numerous domain changes and cheap training processes to avoid costly manual-labeling efforts. These requirements are addressed by unsupervised domain adaptation methods, in particular for synthetic to real-world domain changes. Recent top-performing approaches are hybrids consisting of multiple adaptation technologies and complex training processes. In contrast, this work proposes EasyAdap, a simple and easy-to-use unsupervised domain adaptation method achieving near state-of-the-art performance on the synthetic to real-world domain change. Our evaluation consists of a comparison to numerous top-performing methods, and it shows the competitiveness and further potential of domain adaptation and domain generalization capabilities of our method. We contribute and focus on an extensive discussion revealing possible reasons for domain generalization capabilities, which is necessary to satisfy real-life application's demands.
