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.

Self-Supervised Monocular Depth Estimation (MDE) has garnered attention in recent years due to its independence from ground truth. However, most existing models are limited to a single scale and exhibit considerable performance degradation in complex driving environments.
The paper introduces Out-of-Distribution Semantic Occupancy Prediction, a task that focuses on detecting unknown objects in 3D voxel space for autonomous driving. It proposes Realistic Anomaly Augmentation to create two new datasets, VAA-KITTI and VAA-KITTI-360, and presents the OccOoD framework, which uses Cross‑Space Semantic Refinement to improve OoD detection while maintaining semantic occupancy accuracy. Experiments show OccOoD achieves an AuROC of 65.50% and an AuPRCr of 31.83% within a 1.2 m radius, demonstrating strong generalization to real‑world urban scenes.

arXiv:2608. 19973v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recently, open-vocabulary 3D object detection (3D-OVD) has gained increasing attention for its ability to detect unseen objects in 3D scenes.
The paper introduces Epipolar Distillation (EpiDistill), a method that transfers scale‑aware geometric priors from multi‑view models to monocular depth foundation models using Rectified Stereo Tokens. By preserving epipolar attention patterns, the single‑view model maintains geometric consistency without needing multi‑view inputs during inference. Experiments show significant improvements in zero‑shot metric depth estimation on challenging datasets such as ETH3D and DIODE, and the approach consistently boosts performance of state‑of‑the‑art ViT‑based models like UniDepthV2 and DepthPro.
The paper proposes a three-way open-set detection framework for autonomous navigation, classifying each detection as a known object, unknown object, or background based on a pretrained detector’s outputs. It introduces domain generalization and adaptation methods, evaluates them across various detector families and benchmarks, and demonstrates that this approach improves safety and efficiency in simulated navigation missions compared to binary detection methods.
