arXiv:2606. 13503v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Robust localization in unstructured environments, such as agricultural fields, is a critical challenge for autonomous systems.
Cross-modal place recognition (CMPR) aims to identify the same location across heterogeneous sensing modalities, such as vision and LiDAR. Existing methods commonly bridge the modality gap using complex alignment modules, multi-stage training, or full fine-tuning of pretrained backbones.
arXiv:2506. 22784v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Point-pixel registration between LiDAR point clouds and camera images is a fundamental yet challenging task in autonomous driving and robotic perception.
arXiv:2606. 20189v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Leveraging Vision Foundation Models (VFMs) for camera-to-LiDAR knowledge distillation offers a promising solution to the scarcity of annotated data needed to represent the immense geometric and kinematic diversity of real-world autonomous driving (AD).

arXiv:2606. 32023v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Forest attributes are essential for national-scale resource monitoring.
3D object detection is the backbone of perception for automated vehicles (AV) and broader intelligent transportation systems applications. Long-range detection is challenging because sensing evidence is sparse; yet this ``long-range'' scenario is routine in traffic.
arXiv:2606. 02979v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present a novel compact deep multi-task learning model to handle various autonomous driving perception tasks in one forward pass.

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:2510. 21112v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: High-definition 3D city maps enable city planning and change detection, which is essential for municipal compliance, map maintenance, and asset monitoring, including both built structures and urban greenery.
LiDAR-based Scene Coordinate Regression (SCR) maps point clouds directly to 3D scene coordinates, enabling precise 6-DoF localisation without explicit map retrieval. However, existing methods produce deterministic predictions, discarding aleatoric uncertainty that could improve robustness and downstream decision-making.
arXiv:2607. 26645v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Existing point-based generative methods for outdoor scenes primarily focus on LiDAR-conditioned completion.
