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."

GCSR-OCC: Geometry Calibration and Semantic Routing for Open-Vocabulary Occupancy Prediction

GCSR‑OCC introduces geometry calibration and semantic routing to improve open‑vocabulary 3D occupancy prediction from a single RGB image. It uses an Evidence‑Conserving Gaussian‑to‑Occupancy operator to mitigate scale inflation and a Multi‑Mode Query‑First Gaussian Semantic Routing module to align multiple semantic modes with text queries, refining voxel‑level predictions. The method achieves state‑of‑the‑art results on Occ‑ScanNet, improving geometric IoU to 63.31% and semantic mIoU to 27.44%, while reducing aggregation latency from 19.76 ms to 12.88 ms.

OmniAct3D: Leveraging Foundation Geometry and Evidence-Grounded Reasoning for Panoramic 3D Detection

OmniAct3D is a framework that adapts Vision Foundation Model (VFM) detectors trained on perspective images to equirectangular projection (ERP) panoramic images for 3D detection. It introduces the ERP-Ray Geometry Adapter (ERGA-Ray) to model spherical rays, the Visual-Action Reasoning Chain (VARC) to ground hypotheses in panoramic evidence, and the Appearance-Guided Heading Expert (AGHE) to recover high‑resolution heading cues. The method achieves a 2.96 NDS improvement on Spheriverse and a 24.87 mAP gain on PanoMMOcc, while preserving most of the baseline’s performance across configurations.
