O3N: Omnidirectional Open-Vocabulary Occupancy Prediction for Embodied Intelligent Robotics

O3N is a novel framework that performs open‑vocabulary occupancy prediction from a single omnidirectional RGB image. It introduces a polar‑spiral voxel embedding (PsM) for continuous 360° spatial representation, an Occupancy Cost Aggregation (OCA) module that unifies geometric and semantic supervision, and a Natural Modality Alignment (NMA) pathway that aligns visual, voxel, and text features. Experiments show state‑of‑the‑art results on QuadOcc and Human360Occ benchmarks, with strong cross‑scene generalization and semantic scalability.

Out-of-Distribution Semantic Occupancy Prediction

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.

LetOccVote: Learning Weakly Supervised 3D Occupancy through Consensus

LetOccVote is a weakly supervised framework for 3D occupancy prediction that uses 2D pseudo-labels from vision foundation models. It introduces cross‑frame voting mechanisms—Depth Vote for geometric consistency and Semantic Vote for semantic reliability—to filter out erroneous pseudo-labels before training. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on Occ3D‑nuScenes using only 2D supervision.

OccAnyScene: Towards Unified Indoor-Outdoor 3D Occupancy Prediction

OccAnyScene introduces a unified approach for 3D occupancy prediction across both indoor and outdoor scenes, addressing the challenge of handling diverse camera setups, spatial ranges, voxel specifications, and semantic taxonomies. The method builds on a pretrained depth model, using pixel-aligned frustum feature aggregation and frustum-parameterized Gaussian construction to generate scene-adaptive occupancy predictions. It achieves state-of-the-art performance, scoring 59.92% mIoU on Occ-ScanNet and 23.06% mIoU on SurroundOcc-nuScenes.
