Open-vocabulary 3D object detection with promptable segmentation

The paper introduces an open‑vocabulary 3D object detection pipeline that uses a promptable segmentation model (SAM3) to generate instance masks from six surround‑view cameras. These masks are converted into metric 3D boxes, achieving up to 0.413 mAP/0.555 NDS without any training when supervised box geometry is borrowed at inference. The approach also improves a supervised LiDAR‑only detector by 0.034 mAP through a camera‑witness rule, demonstrating that measurement precision, not 2D detection, limits performance.

Decision-FLIP: Budget-Free Structured Pruning for Gaussian Occupancy Models

Decision‑FLIP is a budget‑free pruning framework for Gaussian occupancy models that scores each persistent Gaussian row by how many voxel decisions change when the row is removed. It uses a guarded Otsu split on the log‑score distribution to select survivors without a target, then compiles the survivors into a smaller checkpoint, reducing bank size and latency. Across multiple model‑dataset settings, the method removes 12–79% of rows, cuts latency by 7–45%, and saves up to 8.0% of whole‑model compute while keeping semantic mIoU within 0.18 points of the original.

RoadOcc Learns When to Persist, Transport, or Refresh Memory for Roadside Occupancy Prediction

RoadOcc is a new method for roadside occupancy prediction that learns to route information among three memory sources: Persist (fixed-coordinate history), Transport (velocity-addressed history), and Refresh (current evidence). It employs dynamic-aware cross‑attention, multi‑scale voxel velocity estimation, and velocity‑guided dynamic sparse fusion to combine these sources efficiently. On the InfraOcc dataset, RoadOcc achieves 65.29 mIoU and 32.37 dynamic mIoU, outperforming the previous STCOcc baseline by significant margins.

MC-DeTra: Motion-Consistent Joint Object Detection and Socially-Aware Trajectory Forecasting in Bird's-Eye-View Images

MC-DeTra is a reimplementation of the DeTra model that jointly performs object detection and socially-aware trajectory forecasting in bird's-eye-view images. It introduces motion-consistency mechanisms that add supervision from each actor’s past motion, surrounding traffic occupancy, and a consistency constraint aligning predicted heading with motion direction. The added losses are train‑only and inference‑safe, improving dynamic trajectory forecasting on the Waymo Open Dataset while maintaining or enhancing detection accuracy.
