TADP: Task-Aware Deformable Prediction for Single-Stage 3D Object Detection

The paper introduces TADP, a task‑aware deformable prediction framework for single‑stage 3D object detection. It employs a triple feature refinement aggregation module, a multi‑scale feature aggregation block, and a plug‑and‑play task‑aware deformation head to adaptively extract and fuse features for different detection tasks. Experiments on the KITTI dataset show that TADP achieves a car mAP of 80.91%, outperforming many state‑of‑the‑art methods.

Geometry-Guided Modeling of Foundation Features Enables Generalizable Object Shape Deformation Learning

The paper introduces a generalizable deformation learning framework that reconstructs 3D objects by deforming a category-level shape template to match a monocular observation. It employs a geometry-guided feature modeling mechanism to enrich foundation features with template topology, creating a geometry-aware representation that is explicitly correlated with the target observation for precise deformation. A view-adaptive feature aggregation module further bridges the gap between the fixed template and arbitrary target views by leveraging multi-view template features and camera poses, ensuring robust feature alignment across diverse viewpoints.

TDFNet: Tri-projection Deformable Fusion Network for Panoramic Salient Object Detection

TDFNet introduces a Tri-projection Deformable Fusion Network that uses equirectangular, cube map, and tangent projections to mitigate geometric distortions in panoramic salient object detection. It incorporates a cross-projection deformable attention module for geometry-aware sampling and a latitude-guided fusion module that balances ERP and CMP features using spherical latitude priors. The network’s three-branch encoding preserves global continuity, local detail, and boundary precision, improving detection performance over existing projection-based methods.

OpenBox: Annotate Any Bounding Boxes in 3D

OpenBox is a two‑stage automatic annotation pipeline that uses a 2D vision foundation model to associate 2D image cues with 3D point clouds. It then classifies instances by rigidity and motion state to generate adaptive bounding boxes using class‑specific size statistics, eliminating the need for self‑training. Experiments on Waymo Open Dataset, Lyft Level 5 Perception, and nuScenes show improved accuracy and efficiency over existing baselines.

HENet++: Hybrid Encoding and Multi-task Learning for 3D Perception and End-to-end Autonomous Driving

HENet++ is a unified framework that combines a hybrid image encoding strategy—using a large encoder for short‑term frames and a lightweight encoder for long‑term temporal context—to balance accuracy and efficiency in 3D perception for autonomous driving. It jointly extracts dense background and sparse foreground features, enabling task‑specific representations that reduce cumulative errors and enrich downstream prediction and planning modules. The approach supports diverse 3D feature extraction pipelines, multi‑modal inputs (camera and radar), and achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on nuScenes and NAVSIM benchmarks, including the lowest collision rate on nuScenes planning.

GenCOPE: Syn2Real Generalized Category-Level Object Pose Estimation for Robotic Picking

GenCOPE introduces a synthetic-to-real (Syn2Real) approach for category-level object pose estimation (COPE) that eliminates the need for labor-intensive real-world data collection. By learning domain-invariant representations through 2D and 3D semantic consistency constraints and employing an end-to-end pose regression framework with 2D-3D cross consistency, the model achieves robust generalization across synthetic and real domains. The architecture relies solely on global features, resulting in a lightweight and efficient design validated on REAL275, Wild6D, and real-world robotic manipulation scenes.
