LiteViLNet: Lightweight Vision-LiDAR Fusion Network for Efficient Road Segmentation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

LiteViLNet is a lightweight RGB‑geometry fusion network for road segmentation that uses a MobileNetV3 RGB encoder and a tiny depth‑wise‑separable geometry encoder. Its multi‑scale fusion module enhances modality‑specific features, performs cross‑modal interaction, and applies adaptive gating, while a depth‑wise large‑kernel bridge expands contextual support with minimal overhead. The U‑Net‑style decoder is trained with deep supervision, achieving state‑of‑the‑art performance on KITTI and ORFD benchmarks and running at up to 68.73 FPS on a Jetson Orin NX with TensorRT FP16.

M3GD: Multi-Modal Multi-View Geometric Diffusion for Camera--LiDAR Novel View Synthesis

M3GD introduces a multimodal representation that fuses pre‑trained 2D image and 3D LiDAR foundation models for robotic novel view synthesis, avoiding the need for a separate cross‑modal translator. By projecting LiDAR onto the image latent grid and injecting the resulting geometry‑aware packets via a lightweight residual adapter, the method enhances both RGB and depth synthesis on the GrandTour dataset compared to an image‑only baseline. Ablation studies confirm that pixel‑aligned LiDAR content drives the performance gains, and real‑world deployment on a ground robot demonstrates a tunable quality–cost trade‑off.
