arXiv:2608. 07579v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The AI City Challenge 2026 Track 1 evaluates multi-camera 3D perception in large indoor warehouses under a synthetic-to-real (Sim2Real) setting; depth is available only for training and validation, so inference is RGB-only.

Point Diffusion Mamba (PDM) is a new method that fuses diffusion models with state‑space modeling to perform single‑view 3D reconstruction when training data are scarce. It uses a lightweight reconstruction module for unordered point‑clouds, a Local Geometric Aggregation module combined with Mamba blocks to capture both global geometry and local detail, and a Hierarchical Feature Integration Network to merge high‑level semantic and local geometric features for each point. A Dynamic Weighted Sampling strategy further improves reconstruction quality by integrating generative priors, and experiments on ShapeNet and Pix3D show that PDM outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art approaches.

The paper introduces the Register Anything Model (RAM), a unified approach for 3D point cloud registration that can robustly estimate 6‑DoF transformations across a wide range of domains, including indoor, outdoor, and object scenes. RAM overcomes domain‑specific challenges by employing a geometry‑aware normalization that voxelizes and standardizes point clouds based on their geometric properties, followed by a hierarchical coarse‑to‑fine pipeline with a geometric transformer that focuses on local consistency. Experiments on 12 benchmarks show that RAM achieves state‑of‑the‑art inlier ratios and registration recall, outperforming methods trained on individual domains and demonstrating strong generalization.

GAPrompt++ is a multi-granular geometry-aware prompting method designed to adapt pre-trained 3D vision models to downstream tasks efficiently. It introduces a Point Shift Prompter for multi-scale geometric feature extraction, a Keypoint Prompter for local geometric saliency, and a Prompt Propagation mechanism to embed these cues throughout the model hierarchy. Experiments demonstrate that GAPrompt++ outperforms other prompting-based PEFT methods and even surpasses full fine-tuning while using less than 2% trainable parameters, and the authors provide two new challenging benchmarks for future research.

Persistent Planar Memory for Video World Models (PPMem) introduces a compact 3D memory system using plane primitives for video world models. By integrating a planar prediction head and Depth Token Fusion into a video diffusion transformer, PPMem jointly generates RGB video and planar geometry, merging them into a persistent plane memory that conditions future video chunks. The resulting memory is highly compact, geometrically explicit, cross-view consistent, and adaptive, outperforming prior 3D-grounded models on DL3DV and RealEstate10K in video quality and depth/normal accuracy.

PanoBench is a new camera‑centric benchmark for panoptic occupancy prediction that unifies 3D geometry, semantics, and instance identities across synthetic and real‑world driving scenes. It combines three datasets—PanoBench‑CarlaOcc, PanoBench‑nuScenes, and PanoBench‑KITTI360—through canonical interfaces and unified evaluation protocols, providing multi‑resolution annotations with persistent instance identities. The benchmark introduces a novel reconstruction pipeline for real‑world data, a unified valid‑mask protocol, and analyses of observation fidelity, geometric completeness, spatial continuity, and temporal consistency, while also benchmarking methods on semantic, panoptic, and 4D occupancy forecasting.
whyItMatters":"PanoBench addresses the scarcity of instance‑aware annotations in panoptic occupancy research by offering comprehensive, high‑quality annotations and evaluation protocols that enable more robust development and comparison of autonomous driving perception methods."
