The paper presents a foundation-guided auto‑annotation pipeline that improves standard autonomous driving object detectors in adverse weather. By benchmarking YOLOv8, Co‑DETR, and SAM3 on a custom dataset of 25 operational scenarios, the authors find SAM3 to be the most robust and use it offline to generate pseudo‑labels. Fine‑tuning YOLOv8 on these labels boosts overall mAP by 16.04% and yields significant gains in specific conditions such as Residential Direct Sunlight (32.73%) and Highway Fog (28.65%).

The paper surveys one‑stage object detectors for autonomous driving, covering the evolution from early models like YOLOv1 and SSD to recent real‑time architectures such as YOLOv10 and anchor‑free detectors like FCOS and CenterNet. It compares these methods on design choices, feature‑fusion strategies, loss functions, deployment trade‑offs, and benchmark performance, while also summarizing datasets, evaluation metrics, open challenges, and future research directions. The survey emphasizes how one‑stage detectors balance speed, accuracy, efficiency, and robustness, noting the gap between benchmark results and dependable real‑world performance.
