The paper introduces LiDAR‑SAM2, a framework that converts the 2D video foundation model SAM2 into a scalable source of supervision for 4D LiDAR data. By projecting SAM2 video masks into multi‑view LiDAR space and aggregating them temporally, the method automatically generates temporally coherent LiDAR labels without human annotation. Experiments on SemanticKITTI show that these automatically produced semantic and panoptic labels achieve quality close to full human annotation, enabling models trained on them to approach the performance of fully supervised systems.
