Open-World Hierarchical Perception: Taxonomic Abstraction over Class-Agnostic Proposals for the Safe Handling of Out-of-Vocabulary Road Objects

arXiv:2608. 07577v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A closed-set detector for autonomous driving must assign every object one of a fixed set of labels.

Contrastive Mask Fidelity: Reference-Free Auditing of Ground-Truth Masks in Remote Sensing Semantic Segmentation

arXiv:2608. 09101v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Semantic segmentation models are trained and evaluated against human-drawn masks, yet remote-sensing annotations are often coarse, incomplete, or misaligned; high overlap scores may then reflect agreement with imperfect labels rather than faithfulness to the image, creating an evaluation paradox.

An Open-Source Two-Stage Computer Vision Pipeline for Fine-Grained Vehicle Classification using Vision Transformers

arXiv:2606. 05149v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Vehicle body type is a significant determinant of cyclist injury severity in overtaking crashes, yet automated tools for classifying vehicles into injury-risk-relevant categories from naturalistic roadway video do not exist in the open literature.

What Do They See? Interpreting Complex Road Scenarios Through the Eyes of Vision-Language-Action Models for Safe and Trustworthy Autonomous Vehicle Learning

arXiv:2607. 16938v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: End-to-end autonomous driving models are now able to navigate complex road scenarios, mapping raw sensor observations directly to observed paths for open-loop evaluation and often effective driving in closed-loop evaluation.

What Do They See? Interpreting Complex Road Scenarios Through the Eyes of Vision-Language-Action Models for Safe and Trustworthy Autonomous Vehicle Learning

End-to-end autonomous driving models are now able to navigate complex road scenarios, mapping raw sensor observations directly to observed paths for open-loop evaluation and often effective driving in closed-loop evaluation. Yet the internal logic of these safety-critical systems remains largely opaque, due to the complexity of traffic scenes.

Adversarially Robust Abductive Fusion of Pre-trained Transformer-based Perception Models

arXiv:2608. 04190v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Deploying pre-trained perception models in novel environments degrades their accuracy under distributional shift, and assembling them alone does not recover it: combiners such as majority voting trade recall for precision and are brittle to coordinated failures.

Data collection from highways: a geometric, class-agnostic approach to embedded vehicle counting

arXiv:2608. 07643v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Traffic data collection is dominated today by deep object detectors followed by tracking-by-detection, a pipeline that presupposes what is often missing in practice: a detector already trained on the class one wants to count.

Object Detection for Autonomous Driving in Chinese Rural Scenes: An Experimental Study on Real-Synthetic Data Mixing and Model Evaluation

Currently, autonomous driving object detection models face significant data scarcity and generalization challenges when navigating complex Chinese rural traffic scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose a novel real-synthetic mixed object detection dataset tailored specifically for Chinese rural roads and systematically evaluate the performance of 13 mainstream detectors under different real-to-synthetic data ratios, thereby providing empirical evidence for model selection and data strategy design in rural autonomous driving scenarios.
