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.

SplatLabel is an automated pipeline that uses a 4D Gaussian representation to generate LiDAR segmentation and semantic occupancy grids with predictive confidence. It models dynamic scenes through an explicit temporal manifold, tracking moving actors without requiring pre‑annotated 3D bounding boxes. By integrating 360‑degree LiDAR depth maps and distilling soft probabilities from 2D models, it resolves semantic ambiguities over time and space, and evaluates pseudo‑labels via a selective classification framework that balances precision and recall.

The paper introduces an open‑vocabulary 3D object detection pipeline that uses a promptable segmentation model (SAM3) to generate instance masks from six surround‑view cameras. These masks are converted into metric 3D boxes, achieving up to 0.413 mAP/0.555 NDS without any training when supervised box geometry is borrowed at inference. The approach also improves a supervised LiDAR‑only detector by 0.034 mAP through a camera‑witness rule, demonstrating that measurement precision, not 2D detection, limits performance.
