The paper introduces Variance‑Guided Spatial Attention Fusion (VG‑SAF), a method for robust end‑to‑end driving that fuses camera and LiDAR data while handling asymmetric sensor degradation. VG‑SAF uses a physically grounded augmentor to generate dense reliability masks, modality‑specific experts to predict per‑pixel reliability scales, and a hybrid attention mechanism that gates unreliable cells and balances modalities. The approach also includes a Laplace uncertainty head to signal severe or combined sensor failures, and demonstrates improved closed‑loop robustness on the CARLA Longest6 benchmark across various degradation scenarios.
End-to-end multimodal driving has progressed rapidly by fusing camera and LiDAR streams. Existing pipelines remain fragile under asymmetric sensor degradation, where either an entire modality or only...
GeoCond is a lightweight reliability adapter that enhances frozen feed‑forward 3D reconstruction backbones by reading their predicted geometry to produce pose‑level uncertainty and a refinement gate. It can be trained using permutation‑orbit variance, ground‑truth pose error, or cycle residuals from unlabeled pose graphs, and at inference requires only a single backbone pass plus a small MLP. On the VGGT backbone, GeoCond reduces out‑of‑distribution AUSE from 0.32 to 0.20, transfers zero‑shot to outdoor extreme‑view scenes, and prevents collapse from uniform bundle adjustment, while also enabling gated refinement, pose‑graph weighting, calibration, curation, and capture decisions.
Newly triggered landslides rarely carry immediate annotations, so cross-domain transferability determines the value of landslide mapping for emergency response and regional risk assessment. Vision foundation models have strengthened representational transfer, yet on unseen regions, events, and data sources they still generate high-confidence false alarms.
