arXiv:2607. 10762v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Cross-modal distillation from Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) to LiDAR backbones has recently emerged as a self-supervised pretraining strategy that reduces reliance on dense point-wise annotation for 3D scene understanding.

arXiv:2607. 00514v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Automatic understanding of dynamic 4D point clouds, the 3D-point sequences captured over time by depth sensors and LiDAR, is central to robotics and embodied perception.
arXiv:2606. 01277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current end-to-end autonomous driving systems predominantly rely on frame-based sensors, which suffer from inherent perception latency and motion blur during highly dynamic encounters, specifically sudden pedestrian crossings.
arXiv:2607. 15898v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current world models operate at a single level of abstraction, with most prioritizing perceptual fidelity while lacking the spatial reasoning and semantic understanding required for real-world downstream tasks.
Bird's-Eye View (BEV) end-to-end instance prediction has emerged as a robust paradigm for autonomous driving perception, effectively mitigating the error propagation inherent in traditional modular pipelines. However, current state-of-the-art approaches rely predominantly on geometric supervision, such as occupancy regression and optical flow, effectively treating scene agents as generic moving obstacles.
Cross-modal place recognition (CMPR) aims to identify the same location across heterogeneous sensing modalities, such as vision and LiDAR. Existing methods commonly bridge the modality gap using complex alignment modules, multi-stage training, or full fine-tuning of pretrained backbones.
