We present LidarVerse, a real-time unified LiDAR world model for sensor simulation across tasks and sensors. Existing LiDAR simulators largely follow one of two complementary paradigms: reconstruction...
LaGen is an autoregressive framework that generates long‑horizon LiDAR scenes frame by frame, using a single‑frame input and bounding‑box conditions to produce high‑fidelity 4D scenes. It introduces a scene decoupling estimation module for better object‑level interaction and a noise modulation module to reduce error accumulation over time. Evaluations on the nuScenes dataset show that LaGen outperforms existing methods, especially on later frames.
GEM is a Generative LiDAR world model that uses a deformable Mamba architecture to better handle the disorder of LiDAR point clouds and distinguish dynamic objects from static structures. The model tokenizes LiDAR sweeps, unsupervisedly disentangles dynamic and static features, and applies a tri‑path deformable Mamba for selective scanning and adaptive gating fusion, improving spatial‑temporal understanding. Experiments show GEM outperforms existing methods across multiple benchmarks, and it can be paired with a planner and BEV controller for autonomous rollout and "what‑if" scenario generation.
