PanoBench: A Panoptic Occupancy Prediction Benchmark for Autonomous Driving

PanoBench is a new camera‑centric benchmark for panoptic occupancy prediction that unifies 3D geometry, semantics, and instance identities across synthetic and real‑world driving scenes. It combines three datasets—PanoBench‑CarlaOcc, PanoBench‑nuScenes, and PanoBench‑KITTI360—through canonical interfaces and unified evaluation protocols, providing multi‑resolution annotations with persistent instance identities. The benchmark introduces a novel reconstruction pipeline for real‑world data, a unified valid‑mask protocol, and analyses of observation fidelity, geometric completeness, spatial continuity, and temporal consistency, while also benchmarking methods on semantic, panoptic, and 4D occupancy forecasting. whyItMatters":"PanoBench addresses the scarcity of instance‑aware annotations in panoptic occupancy research by offering comprehensive, high‑quality annotations and evaluation protocols that enable more robust development and comparison of autonomous driving perception methods."

Measurable Semantic 3D Gaussian Splatting with Joint Region and Depth Supervision for Interactive Building Inspection

The paper introduces a measurable semantic 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) framework that uses region and depth supervision to improve building inspection from multi‑view imagery. Mask‑based region supervision focuses optimization on target areas, while point‑wise depth supervision aligns Gaussian centers with physical surfaces derived from multi‑view stereo point clouds. The resulting semantic Gaussian field enables component‑level inspection and is deployed in the AEC‑SplatTwin platform, achieving significant reductions in depth error and high semantic segmentation accuracy on UAV‑inspected and smartphone‑captured datasets.
