HeteroPROMPT: A Real-time and Privacy-Preserving Heterogeneous Collaborative Perception Framework

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

HeteroPROMPT is a real‑time, privacy‑preserving framework for heterogeneous collaborative perception in autonomous systems. It aligns features from diverse sensors and models into a unified ego‑centric space using modular prompts and lightweight tuning, while keeping encoders and fusion stacks frozen. The system employs a metadata‑free autoencoder for modality classification and routing, achieving higher average precision on OPV2V‑H and V2XSet datasets with far fewer trainable parameters.

Beyond Classification: Task-Dependent Learnability under Privacy-Motivated Image Transformations

The paper argues that evaluating privacy‑enhancing technologies (PETs) solely through image classification is insufficient because classification remains robust to many geometric and local perturbations. It proposes a compute‑aware multi‑task protocol that uses lightweight proxy tasks to assess PETs across various transformations, revealing that PETs with similar classification accuracy can perform very differently on other vision tasks. The study demonstrates the necessity of broader evaluation metrics beyond classification to truly gauge PET effectiveness.

CauseCollab: Causal Unified and Modality-Agnostic Network for Heterogeneous Collaborative Perception

CauseCollab is a causal unified and modality‑agnostic network designed to improve collaborative perception across heterogeneous sensor modalities. It disentangles semantic factors from modality‑specific confounders using causal metric learning and employs a context‑guided Unified Converter to maintain cross‑modal semantic consistency. The approach requires only minimal adapter training when adding new modalities and achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on the OPV2V and DAIR‑V2X datasets, especially in scenarios with large modality gaps.
