FounRef is a training‑free method that refines frozen monocular foundation priors into dense metric depth by aligning them with sparse metric anchors. It validates anchors against the prior’s predictions, rejects misaligned ones, and applies a structure‑preserving solver to correct depth globally and locally while preserving fine geometry. The approach works out of the box on unseen cameras and scenes, achieving up to 24% lower depth error, 92% lower surface‑normal noise, and nearly 15× faster inference than a leading depth‑completion network.

SimFuse3D tackles cross‑platform LiDAR unsupervised domain adaptation by addressing box‑point inconsistency through source‑guided target simulation and confidence‑guided multi‑stage localization reweighting. It preserves target placement, repairs pseudo‑objects using labeled source geometry, and reweights predictions based on confidence, all during adaptation without altering the detector architecture. The method outperforms existing adaptation techniques across six cross‑platform transfers and ranks first on nuScenes‑to‑KITTI for both evaluated detectors.
