SLAM Adversarial Lab: An Extensible Framework for Visual SLAM Robustness Evaluation under Adverse Conditions

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

SLAM Adversarial Lab (SAL) is a modular framework designed to evaluate visual SLAM systems under adverse conditions such as fog, rain, camera, and video transport perturbations. It transforms existing datasets into adversarial versions by applying perturbations with severity levels expressed in real‑world units (e.g., meters for fog visibility). SAL’s extensible architecture separates datasets, perturbations, and SLAM algorithms via common interfaces, allowing users to add new components without rewriting integration code, and includes a search procedure to identify the severity at which a SLAM system fails.

Real-World Perception for Autonomous Driving in Adverse Weather: Enhancing Standard Detectors via Foundation-Guided Auto-Annotation

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%).
