arXiv:2606. 07233v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LiDAR-based 3D Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) typically relies solely on geometric information, which is often insufficient to distinguish between targets during prolonged occlusions or in crowded human-populated environments.

The paper surveys one‑stage object detectors for autonomous driving, covering the evolution from early models like YOLOv1 and SSD to recent real‑time architectures such as YOLOv10 and anchor‑free detectors like FCOS and CenterNet. It compares these methods on design choices, feature‑fusion strategies, loss functions, deployment trade‑offs, and benchmark performance, while also summarizing datasets, evaluation metrics, open challenges, and future research directions. The survey emphasizes how one‑stage detectors balance speed, accuracy, efficiency, and robustness, noting the gap between benchmark results and dependable real‑world performance.

The paper introduces OccLinker, a lightweight plugin for vision‑based occupancy networks that reduces flickering by efficiently merging historical static and motion cues with current features via a dual cross‑attention mechanism. It generates correction components to refine base network predictions and proposes a new temporal consistency metric to quantify flickering. Experiments on two benchmark datasets show that OccLinker improves performance with minimal computational overhead while effectively diminishing flickering artifacts.

The paper proposes a modular training pipeline for zero‑shot cross‑city object detection that combines a multi‑dataset pre‑training strategy with class‑agnostic objectness distillation and a domain‑resilient augmentation stream featuring a Grayworld transformation. Applied to the RF‑DETR detector, the approach reduces cross‑city distribution gaps while using only 16 GB GPU memory, achieving a 24.29‑point mAP improvement and 1st place on the AI City Challenge Track 6 leaderboard. The authors provide code and data at the referenced GitHub repository.

The paper introduces MovingDroneCrowd++, a large-scale video dataset for dense crowd counting and tracking from moving drones, featuring varied flight altitudes, camera angles, and lighting. It presents two new methods: GD3A for Video Individual Counting and GIA-Track for Multi-Object Tracking, both leveraging group-wise density assignment and identity association to handle aerial challenges. Experiments demonstrate significant improvements, reducing counting error by 47.4% and boosting tracking accuracy by 64.6%.
