Scene coordinate regression (SCR) achieves strong performance in outdoor LiDAR localization, but it usually requires scene-specific training that can take days, limiting practical deployment. Recent w...
DXPR is a depth‑based cross‑modal place recognition framework that matches monocular camera queries to a LiDAR map using a single vision foundation model backbone. By converting both modalities into a unified depth image representation, DXPR learns modality‑invariant global descriptors without modality‑specific encoders. A geometry‑aware overlap miner refines pairwise metric learning by computing pixel‑level overlap scores, and extensive tests on KITTI and Boreas show strong performance across seasons, weather, and day/night conditions, outperforming prior CMPR baselines.

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.
