iOSPointMapper: RealTime Pedestrian and Accessibility Mapping with Mobile AI

iOSPointMapper is a mobile app that performs real‑time, privacy‑conscious sidewalk mapping using on‑device semantic segmentation, LiDAR depth estimation, and fused GPS/IMU data on recent iPhones and iPads. It detects and localizes sidewalk‑relevant features such as traffic signs, traffic lights, and poles, and includes a user‑guided annotation interface for validating outputs before submission. The anonymized data is transmitted to the Transportation Data Exchange Initiative (TDEI), where it integrates with broader multimodal transportation datasets, and evaluations show the app’s potential for enhanced pedestrian mapping.

Does Appearance Help? A Systematic Study of Image-Based Re-Identification in Online 3D Multi-Pedestrian Tracking

arXiv:2606. 07233v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LiDAR-based 3D Multi-Object Tracking (MOT) typically relies solely on geometric information, which is often insufficient to distinguish between targets during prolonged occlusions or in crowded human-populated environments.

Humanoid-OmniOcc: Stereo-Based Full-View Occupancy Dataset for Embodied AI

Occupancy prediction at voxel-level granularity is essential for safe robotic navigation and interaction in complex environments. Existing occupancy datasets, however, are predominantly designed for autonomous driving with vehicle-centric biases -- forward-facing cameras, far-field geometry, and static road priors -- limiting their applicability to embodied humanoid perception.
