MonoMIP: Multi-Height Inverse Perspective Mapping for Monocular 3D Object Detection

Monocular 3D object detection methods increasingly rely on depth-guided transformers, but they operate entirely in the perspective image plane where spatial relationships are distorted by foreshortening. We propose MonoMIP, a dual-decoder framework that adds complementary 3D geometric reasoning through Bird's-Eye View...

Foundation4D: Towards a unified perception and reconstruction model for autonomous vehicles

We introduce Foundation4D, a unified feed-forward model for geometry estimation, 3D detection, semantic occupancy, and Gaussian reconstruction from multi-camera driving video. A shared backbone uses factorized spatiotemporal attention to efficiently combine observations across cameras and time. Our video inference pipe...

Data-Efficient Crosswalk Segmentation from Overhead CCTV via Confidence- and Geometry-Guided Pseudo-Labeling

Pixel-level annotation of fixed traffic-camera imagery is expensive, while crosswalk models trained from street-level imagery face a substantial viewpoint and appearance shift when applied to elevated CCTV. We investigate a data-efficient target-domain pipeline using 241 manually annotated CCTV images and 5,926 unlabel...

EgoHand: Monocular 3D Hand Reconstruction from Egocentric Video

We introduce EgoHand, a monocular 3D hand reconstruction model that achieves state-of-the-art performance on egocentric video. Central to our approach is the curation of a high-quality training corpus of 14 million images, combining synthetic data, in-the-wild video, and multi-camera motion capture to balance scene div...

TriSAR-3D and PaintFusion: A Novel Trimodal LiDAR-RGB-Thermal Dataset and Method for 3D Person Detection in Search and Rescue

Reliable 3D person detection is important for rescue robotics to give first responders situational awareness. Yet most multimodal 3D detection research targets automotive scenarios in which pedestrians mostly appear in a narrow range of upright, near-road poses. It is therefore unclear how much of the reported performa...

FUSEye: Training-Light Fisheye Detection with Overlapping Views and Zero-Initialized Adapters

Fisheye cameras give mobile robots a single-sensor, low-cost view of their surroundings, yet the COCO-pretrained detectors that practitioners routinely reuse fail on them: strong radial distortion warps local image structure, while boundary compression shrinks objects to near-invisible sizes. Full fine-tuning closes mu...
