WorkIng: A Real-World and Synthetic Highway Work-Zone Benchmark Dataset for Autonomous Navigation

WorkIng is a dual-domain benchmark for autonomous navigation in highway work zones, offering a real-world dataset (WorkIng-Highway) with 360° multi‑modal sensor data and over 12,000 annotated frames, and a synthetic counterpart (WorkIng-CARLA) that simulates 24 regulation‑aware scenarios across six topologies and traffic standards. The benchmark includes 227,399 tracked 3D bounding boxes and 100+ custom 3D assets. Experiments show that real‑world data drives performance, while scenario‑stratified synthetic augmentation improves 2D recognition, 3D detection, and trajectory planning.

DXPR: Depth-Based Vision-LiDAR Cross-Modal Place Recognition Using Vision Foundation Models

DXPR is a depth‑based cross‑modal place recognition framework that matches monocular camera queries to a LiDAR map using a single vision foundation model backbone. By converting both modalities into a unified depth image representation, DXPR learns modality‑invariant global descriptors without modality‑specific encoders. A geometry‑aware overlap miner refines pairwise metric learning by computing pixel‑level overlap scores, and extensive tests on KITTI and Boreas show strong performance across seasons, weather, and day/night conditions, outperforming prior CMPR baselines.
