A Multi-Vehicle Dataset with Camera, LiDAR, and Radar Sensors and Scanned 3D Models for Custom Auto-Annotation using RTK-GNSS

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces a multi-vehicle dataset that includes camera, LiDAR, and radar sensor data along with scanned 3D models of all vehicles. Each vehicle’s pose and continuous kinematics are provided via RTK‑GNSS, enabling precise knowledge of the dynamic surroundings at any time. The dataset supports single‑ and multi‑object recordings with seven target vehicles, allowing evaluation of measurement effects such as occlusion and reflections thanks to known vehicle surface normals.

Multi-Modal Traffic Sign Detection with Semantic Attributes for Autonomous Driving

The paper introduces a multi‑modal traffic sign detection framework that fuses camera and LiDAR data using an Intensity‑Aware Deformable Fusion module to align retro‑reflective LiDAR cues with visual features. It also presents a dual motion‑model tracker to handle non‑linear perspective changes and a semantic attribute classification pipeline that estimates occlusion, readability, sign embeddedness, and road relevance. Evaluated on a dataset covering more than 60 countries and 2,500 hours of driving, the system achieves an Object Miss Ratio of 0.49% across 221,068 sequences, indicating strong global generalization for autonomous driving.

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.
