DeepIPCv3: Event-Aware Multi-Modal Sensor Fusion for Sudden Pedestrian Crossing Avoidance

arXiv:2606. 01277v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Current end-to-end autonomous driving systems predominantly rely on frame-based sensors, which suffer from inherent perception latency and motion blur during highly dynamic encounters, specifically sudden pedestrian crossings.

Temporal-Aware Fusion for Robust Outdoor LiDAR Localization

The paper introduces TempLoc, a Temporal‑aware Localization framework that improves outdoor LiDAR relocalization by leveraging spatio‑temporal consistency across scans. It first predicts point‑wise global coordinates with uncertainties, then estimates inter‑frame correspondences using an attention‑based Prior Coordinate Generation module, and finally fuses these predictions in an uncertainty‑guided manner to produce a more accurate global 6‑DoF pose. Experiments on the NCLT and Oxford RobotCar datasets show that TempLoc significantly outperforms existing state‑of‑the‑art methods.

MemReg: Streaming Outdoor LiDAR Point Cloud Registration with Hybrid Memory Buffers

MemReg introduces a multi-frame outdoor LiDAR point cloud registration network that leverages hybrid memory buffers to capture temporal correlations in streaming sequences. The system uses an implicit memory feature buffer and an explicit memory pose buffer to store and update pose-related temporal features, while a dynamic history weighting module adaptively fuses current and historical information. Experiments on KITTI, nuScenes, and Apollo-Southbay datasets show MemReg surpasses previous pair-wise methods and multi-frame SLAM systems, and it also performs competitively on indoor datasets such as 3DMatch, 3DLoMatch, and ScanNet.

PhysWAM: Physically Consistent World Action Model for Autonomous Driving

PhysWAM is a unified world-action model for autonomous driving that jointly denoises multiview video, metric depth, and ego motion using a flow‑matching transformer. It introduces Coupled Point Projection (CPP), a geometric constraint that aligns generated depth points with LiDAR data after applying the predicted SE(3) ego motion, thereby enforcing physical consistency. At inference, trajectory selection uses a simple label‑free consensus rule, and the model demonstrates strong planning performance, zero‑shot transfer to unseen environments, and accurate, temporally coherent depth and video predictions.
