Open-vocabulary 3D object detection with promptable segmentation

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.

SARFusion: Scene-Aware Routing Fusion for Robust Camera-LiDAR 3D Object Detection

SARFusion introduces a scene-aware routing approach for camera‑LiDAR 3D object detection, decoupling object‑query decoding into separate camera, LiDAR, and fusion branches. By estimating a global scene reliability prior and incorporating object‑level evidence, each query is routed to the most suitable branch, reducing cross‑modal interference. The method achieves strong performance on the nuScenes test set (72.5 mAP, 74.4 NDS) and demonstrates robustness to sensor corruptions and environmental changes.

Post Fusion Bird's Eye View Feature Stabilization for Robust Multimodal 3D Detection

The paper introduces Post Fusion Stabilizer (PFS), a lightweight module that refines intermediate bird’s‑eye view (BEV) feature maps in existing camera‑LiDAR fusion detectors. PFS stabilizes feature statistics under domain shift, suppresses regions affected by sensor degradation, and adaptively restores weakened cues via residual correction, acting as a near‑identity transformation. On the nuScenes benchmark, PFS achieves state‑of‑the‑art robustness, notably improving camera dropout robustness by +1.2% and low‑light performance by +4.4% mAP while adding only 3.3 M parameters.
