[Export][ONNX] LiDARInstance3DBoxes

[Lewis-Lu]

Hi there,

I'm trying to export motion_head to ONNX, as the track_bbox_results contains LiDARInstance3DBoxes, thus the torch.onnx.tracer failed with the following log:

Restoring the weights from ckpts/uniad_base_e2e.pth.

export motion_head, #params = 13.77M

Dictionaries and strings are also accepted, but their usage is not recommended. Here, received an input of unsupported type: LiDARInstance3DBoxes

1. I can manually decode the data store in 3d-bbox, then tracer could work, since the forward() args would be torch.Tensor then. However, it takes much effort for exporting the part to ONNX.
2. Can we plugin some code in torch.jit module for support this? or any MMDeploy code snippets might help ? I'm not familiar with mmdeploy stuff. So might somebody could give this issue a hint.

Best, Lewis

@YTEP-ZHI could you please comment on this ? Many Thanks in advance

Some more context, I'm looking into https://github.com/open-mmlab/mmdeploy/pull/1662 for some hints as it seems has supported InstanceData for exporting to ONNX.
