Recent advancements in LiDAR-only 3D object detection have demonstrated improved detection accuracy over benchmark datasets. However, the adversarial robustness of these models remains untested.
SARFusion introduces a scene-aware routing approach for camera‑LiDAR 3D object detection, decoupling object‑query decoding into separate camera, LiDAR, and fusion branches. By estimating a global scene reliability prior and incorporating object‑level evidence, each query is routed to the most suitable branch, reducing cross‑modal interference. The method achieves strong performance on the nuScenes test set (72.5 mAP, 74.4 NDS) and demonstrates robustness to sensor corruptions and environmental changes.

FastBEVFusion is a lightweight fusion system for real‑time 3D object detection that combines LiDAR and camera data without depth estimation. It projects modality‑specific features into semi‑aligned BEV spaces and fuses them with a dynamic cross‑attention module, achieving over 50 FPS on the nuScenes dataset. The method also demonstrates strong robustness to calibration errors.
AutoExpert proposes a new benchmark for automating 3D LiDAR annotation using expert‑crafted guidelines, redefining evaluation protocols and re‑annotating nuScenes and PandaSet datasets. The pipeline combines 2D detection and segmentation in RGB images, lifts these detections into 3D with known sensor poses, and generates 3D cuboids, improving 3D detection mAP from 12.1 to 25.4 on the AutoExpert‑nuScenes benchmark.

DXPR is a depth‑based cross‑modal place recognition framework that matches monocular camera queries to a LiDAR map using a single vision foundation model backbone. By converting both modalities into a unified depth image representation, DXPR learns modality‑invariant global descriptors without modality‑specific encoders. A geometry‑aware overlap miner refines pairwise metric learning by computing pixel‑level overlap scores, and extensive tests on KITTI and Boreas show strong performance across seasons, weather, and day/night conditions, outperforming prior CMPR baselines.

Lang3DSeg introduces a point‑transformer backbone for open‑vocabulary, annotation‑free 3D LiDAR segmentation, trained from scratch without geometric pre‑training. It tackles noise from 2D‑to‑3D label projections by applying a class‑priority rule and truncating projected instances at depth gaps, thereby correcting depth‑ambiguity errors. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on nuScenes (52.8 % mIoU) and SemanticKITTI (41.4 % mIoU) while operating in real‑time on a single LiDAR sweep.
