Refine Connections, Close the Gap: A Reliable Enhancement Framework for Driving Scene Topology

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces TopoEnhance, a framework that improves the reliability of scene topology graphs for autonomous driving by treating topology enhancement as a denoising reconstruction task. It learns to recover structural consistency from corrupted ground‑truth graphs, thereby correcting logical inconsistencies and unreliable connections. Experiments show consistent gains in both continuous topology metrics (TOP score) and discrete connectivity (Topology Jaccard Similarity) across multiple baselines without retraining.

TopoAgent: A Structure-Aware Perception-to-Reasoning Framework for Diagram-to-Graph Topology Extraction with Large Vision-Language Models

The paper introduces TopoBench-180, a human‑verified benchmark of 180 structural diagrams with canonical graph annotations, and TopoAgent, a perception‑to‑reasoning framework that extracts graph topology from diagrams using large vision‑language models. TopoAgent combines grounded perception, global structural priors, node inventory construction, local‑to‑global relation reasoning, and consistency enforcement to progressively build the target graph. Experiments demonstrate that TopoAgent surpasses strong baselines, particularly in edge extraction, thereby advancing multimodal structured understanding for diagram‑to‑graph tasks.

MindTopo: Can Foundation Models Reason in Topological Space?

MindTopo is a benchmark that tests foundation models on topological reasoning, covering five cognitive properties—continuity, separation, order, enclosure, and knots—across two cognitive levels: reasoning and planning. It contains 11,030 instances from 13 procedurally generated task types, and evaluates 14 multimodal large language models, including agent configurations with image and video generation. Results show that models perform better on reasoning than planning, and even the best model lags far behind human performance, with fine‑tuning and reinforcement learning improving reasoning more than planning.
