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.

arXiv:2307. 06647v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose DeepIPCv2, an end-to-end autonomous driving framework that integrates LiDAR-based environmental perception with command-specific control learning.

DXPR is a depth‑based cross‑modal place recognition framework that matches monocular camera queries to a LiDAR map using a single vision foundation model backbone. By converting both modalities into a unified depth image representation, DXPR learns modality‑invariant global descriptors without modality‑specific encoders. A geometry‑aware overlap miner refines pairwise metric learning by computing pixel‑level overlap scores, and extensive tests on KITTI and Boreas show strong performance across seasons, weather, and day/night conditions, outperforming prior CMPR baselines.

Metric scale monocular geometry estimation has seen significant progress through large-scale data aggregation, yet current foundation models suffer from a persistent ''scale-collapse'' phenomenon: distant landmarks and vast landscapes are metrically underestimated. We hypothesize that this performance gap stems from a training data bottleneck, where existing metric-scale datasets are hardware-constrained to homogenous vehicle-captured LiDAR or short-range indoor scans, or consist of synthetic data that lacks the semantic complexity of the physical world.
arXiv:2607. 02561v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Consumer depth sensors such as the LiDAR scanner on recent iPhones provide metric range, but their useful range is short and their returns are sparse.

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:2606. 04271v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous driving has shifted from modular perception-prediction-planning stacks toward end-to-end (E2E) models that map sensor inputs directly to vehicle control, often regularized by auxiliary tasks such as 3D detection, motion forecasting, and HD-map perception.

LaGen is an autoregressive framework that generates long‑horizon LiDAR scenes frame by frame, using a single‑frame input and bounding‑box conditions to produce high‑fidelity 4D scenes. It introduces a scene decoupling estimation module for better object‑level interaction and a noise modulation module to reduce error accumulation over time. Evaluations on the nuScenes dataset show that LaGen outperforms existing methods, especially on later frames.
