LaGen: Towards Autoregressive LiDAR Scene Generation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

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.

Bootstrapping a 4D LiDAR Annotation Tool from Video Foundation Models

The paper introduces LiDAR‑SAM2, a framework that converts the 2D video foundation model SAM2 into a scalable source of supervision for 4D LiDAR data. By projecting SAM2 video masks into multi‑view LiDAR space and aggregating them temporally, the method automatically generates temporally coherent LiDAR labels without human annotation. Experiments on SemanticKITTI show that these automatically produced semantic and panoptic labels achieve quality close to full human annotation, enabling models trained on them to approach the performance of fully supervised systems.
