FastBEVFusion: Simple Multi-Modal Fusion for 3D Object Detection at 50 FPS

FastBEVFusion is a lightweight fusion system for real‑time 3D object detection that combines LiDAR and camera data without depth estimation. It projects modality‑specific features into semi‑aligned BEV spaces and fuses them with a dynamic cross‑attention module, achieving over 50 FPS on the nuScenes dataset. The method also demonstrates strong robustness to calibration errors.

Leveraging Vision-Based Point Cloud Map Priors for Camera-Based 3D Object Detection and Online Vectorized HD Mapping

The paper presents a framework that builds a static point cloud prior map from past camera traversals, augmenting each point with DINOv3 semantic features. During runtime, a local prior patch is retrieved, encoded with a sparse voxel backbone, and fused with lifted multi‑view camera features in bird’s‑eye view. This fused representation is then used by sparse transformer heads to predict 3D objects and vectorized map elements, achieving improved performance on Argoverse 2 without requiring LiDAR for prior‑map construction or online inference.
