We introduce Perception Encoder-Audiovisual, PE-AV, a new family of encoders for audio and video understanding trained with scaled contrastive learning. Building on PE, PE-AV makes several key contributions to extend representations to audio, and natively support joint embeddings across audio-video, audio-text, and video-text modalities. PE-AV's unified cross-modal embeddings enable novel tasks such as speech retrieval, and set a new state of the art across standard audio and video benchmarks. We unlock this by building a strong audiovisual data engine that synthesizes high-quality captions for O(100M) audio-video pairs, enabling large-scale supervision consistent across modalities. Our audio data includes speech, music, and general sound effects--avoiding single-domain limitations common in prior work. We exploit ten pairwise contrastive objectives, showing that scaling cross-modality and caption-type pairs strengthens alignment and improves zero-shot performance. Models and code are available.

Point cloud denoising is a critical preprocessing step for enhancing the reliability and accuracy of 3D perception systems. Most existing progressive denoising methods rely on fixed iterative pipelines that process all regions uniformly, resulting in redundant computation and over-smoothing of geometric details when handling point clouds with non-uniform noise distributions. To overcome these limitations, we introduce Dynamic Skip Net (DSNet), a novel progressive denoising framework that enables routing on demand by adaptively determining the optimal denoising path for each local patch based on its noise characteristics. DSNet incorporates a noise discriminator that quantifies local noise intensity by analyzing normal similarity, and a reverse monotonic decision function that maps this measure to an appropriate denoising module. Furthermore, we propose a path-selective iteration mechanism that dynamically re-evaluates the restoration state and re-plans the denoising route at each stage, enabling cross-stage skipping to minimize unnecessary computation. Extensive experiments on multiple benchmarks demonstrate that DSNet achieves state-of-the-art performance in noise suppression, geometric fidelity, and computational efficiency. The code is available at https://github.com/cz-61/DSNet

Detecting small aerial targets (SATs) in long-range LiDAR is challenging because motion causes extreme variations in point density, breaking fixed-voxel and static-threshold assumptions in standard 3D detection and tracking. To address the challenges, we introduce A3PRL, an RL-driven adaptive perception framework that closes the loop between LiDAR sensing and tracking. A3PRL uses a sparsity-aware proposal stage with Temporal Dispersion Signatures and velocity-change cues, and a lightweight 5D policy that jointly adjusts voxel resolution, detection sensitivity, and association gating from label-free statistics of sparsity, foreground acceptance, and track stability. The policy is trained with privileged ground-truth trajectories to optimize a reward balancing geometric accuracy, temporal stability, and regularized acceptance, but runs fully label-free at test time. On the public MMAUD benchmark, training on V1 and evaluating on unseen V2/V3, A3PRL reduces 3D localization error by about 19% over its non-RL counterpart and consistently outperforms LiDAR-only and multimodal baselines under both day and night conditions. The same policy is able to transfer to other SAT datasets with heterogeneous scan patterns, maintaining accurate and stable trajectories.

Training Large Multimodality Models (LMMs) relies on descriptive image caption that connects image and language. Existing methods for generating such captions often rely on distilling the captions from pretrained LMMs, constructing them from publicly available internet images, or even generating them through human annotation. However, these strategies can fall short in terms of precision and granularity, particularly when dealing with complex visual reasoning tasks. In this paper, we propose to leverage off-the-shelf visual specialists, which were trained from annotated images initially not for image captioning, for enhancing the image caption. Our approach, named Cap-Workflow, explores object low-level and fine-grained attributes (e.g., depth, emotion and fine-grained categories) and object relations (e.g., relative location and human-object-interaction (HOI)), and combine the attributes into the descriptive caption. By systematically integrating these rich attributes into the generated captions, Cap-Workflow significantly improves the descriptive quality of the captions, providing a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the visual content. Experiments demonstrate that such visual specialists are able to improve the performance for visual understanding tasks as well as reasoning that benefits from more accurate visual understanding. The source code and datasets are available at https://github.com/syp2ysy/Cap-Workflow.

Cooperative 3D perception via Vehicle-to-Everything communication is a promising paradigm for enhancing autonomous driving, offering extended sensing horizons and occlusion resolution. However, the practical deployment of existing methods is hindered at long distances by two critical bottlenecks: the quadratic computational scaling of dense BEV representations and the fragility of feature association mechanisms under significant observation and alignment errors. To overcome these limitations, we introduce Long-SCOPE, a fully sparse framework designed for robust long-distance cooperative 3D perception. Our method features two novel components: a Geometry-guided Query Generation module to accurately detect small, distant objects, and a learnable Context-Aware Association module that robustly matches cooperative queries despite severe positional noise. Experiments on the V2X-Seq and Griffin datasets validate that Long-SCOPE achieves state-of-the-art performance, particularly in challenging 100-150m long-range settings, while maintaining highly competitive computation and communication costs.

Diffusion models have shown impressive performance in generative tasks, demonstrating their ability to capture detailed structural and semantic information. Recently, these capabilities have been extended to visual understanding, with studies employing diffusion models as the backbone for various perception tasks. However, existing diffusion-based perception models are generally restricted to a single task or a fixed set of predefined tasks, lacking an efficient mechanism to generalize to novel tasks. To overcome this limitation, we propose a unified DiT-based perception framework called UniPercept, which introduces a novel foundation-adapter paradigm for general visual perception. In this framework, a shared diffusion-based foundation model is trained to capture common and generalizable visual knowledge across diverse perception tasks, with task-specific adapters integrated for each individual task. Leveraging its superior generalization ability, the foundation model can be efficiently adapted to novel domains through lightweight adapters, requiring as few as **1,000** training samples and less than **1%** of trainable parameters. Furthermore, UniPercept demonstrates strong performance across various perception tasks, outperforming state-of-the-art generalist models in most cases and achieving accuracy comparable to specialist models.

Ultra-high-resolution (UHR) remote sensing (RS) images offer rich fine-grained information but also present challenges in effective processing. Existing dynamic resolution and token pruning methods are constrained by a passive perception paradigm, suffering from increased redundancy when obtaining finer visual inputs. In this work, we explore a new active perception paradigm that enables models to revisit information-rich regions. First, we present LRS-GRO, a large-scale benchmark dataset tailored for active perception in UHR RS processing, encompassing 17 question types across global, region, and object levels, annotated via a semi-automatic pipeline. Building on LRS-GRO, we propose ZoomEarth, an adaptive cropping-zooming framework with a novel Region-Guided reward that provides fine-grained guidance. Trained via supervised fine-tuning (SFT) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO), ZoomEarth achieves state-of-the-art performance on LRS-GRO and, in the zero-shot setting, on three public UHR remote sensing benchmarks. Furthermore, ZoomEarth can be seamlessly integrated with downstream models for tasks such as cloud removal, denoising, segmentation, and image editing through simple tool interfaces, demonstrating strong versatility and extensibility. All data and code will be released at https://earth-insights.github.io/ZoomEarth.

Collaborative perception leverages data exchange among multiple agents to enhance overall perception capabilities. However, heterogeneity across agents introduces domain gaps that hinder collaboration, and this is further exacerbated by an underexplored issue: modality isolation. It arises when multiple agents with different modalities never co-occur in any training data frame, enlarging cross-modal domain gaps. Existing alignment methods rely on supervision from spatially overlapping observations, thus fail to handle modality isolation. To address this challenge, we propose CodeAlign, the first efficient, co-occurrence-free alignment framework that smoothly aligns modalities via cross-modal feature-code-feature(FCF) translation. The key idea is to explicitly identify the representation consistency through codebook, and directly learn mappings between modality-specific feature spaces, thereby eliminating the need for spatial correspondence. Codebooks regularize feature spaces into code spaces, providing compact yet expressive representations. With a prepared code space for each modality, CodeAlign learns FCF translations that map features to the corresponding codes of other modalities, which are then decoded back into features in the target code space, enabling effective alignment. Experiments show that, when integrating three modalities, CodeAlign requires only 8% of the training parameters of prior alignment methods, reduces communication load by 1024x, and achieves state-of-the-art perception performance on both OPV2V and DAIR-V2X dataset. Code will be released.

Ego-centric driving videos available online provide an abundant source of visual data for autonomous driving, yet their lack of annotations makes it difficult to learn representations that capture both semantic structure and 3D geometry. Recent advances in large feedforward spatial models demonstrate that point maps and ego-motion can be inferred in a single forward pass, suggesting a promising direction for scalable driving perception. We therefore propose a label-free, teacher-guided framework for learning autonomous driving representations directly from unposed videos. Unlike prior self-supervised approaches that focus primarily on frame-to-frame consistency, we posit that safe and reactive driving depends critically on temporal context. To this end, we leverage a feedforward architecture equipped with a lightweight autoregressive module, trained using multi-modal supervisory signals that guide the model to jointly predict current and future point maps, camera poses, semantic layouts, and motion masks. Multi-modal teachers provide sequence-level pseudo-supervision, enabling LFG to learn a unified pseudo-4D representation from raw YouTube videos without poses, labels, or LiDAR. The resulting encoder not only transfers effectively to downstream autonomous driving planning on the NAVSIM benchmark, surpassing multi-camera and LiDAR baselines with only a single monocular camera, but also yields strong performance when evaluated on a range of semantic, geometric, and motion prediction tasks. These geometry- and motion-aware features position LFG as a compelling video-centric foundation model for autonomous driving.

The safety of autonomous driving systems (ADS) depends on accurate perception across distance and driving conditions. The outputs of AI perception algorithms are stochastic, which has a major impact on decision making and safety outcomes, including time-to-collision estimation. However, current perception evaluation metrics do not reflect the stochastic nature of perception algorithms. We therefore introduce the Perception Characteristics Distance (PCD), a novel metric incorporating model output uncertainty as represented by the farthest distance at which an object can be reliably detected. To represent a system's overall perception capability in terms of reliable detection distance, we used the averaged PCD values across multiple detection quality and probabilistic thresholds to produce the average PCD (aPCD). For empirical validation, we present the SensorRainFall dataset, collected on the Virginia Smart Roads using a sensor-equipped vehicle (cameras, radar, and LiDAR) controlled under different weather (clear and rainy) and illumination conditions (daylight, streetlight, and night). The dataset includes ground-truth distances, bounding boxes, and segmentation masks for target objects. Experiments with state-of-the-art models show that aPCD captures meaningful differences across weather, daylight, and illumination conditions, which traditional evaluation metrics fail to reflect. PCD provides an uncertainty-aware measure of perception performance, supporting safer and more robust ADS operation, while the SensorRainFall dataset offers a valuable benchmark for evaluation. The SensorRainFall dataset is publicly available at https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/datadrivenwheels/sensorrainfall, and the evaluation code is available at https://github.com/datadrivenwheels/PCD_Python

Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF) have shown remarkable success in image novel view synthesis (NVS), inspiring extensions to LiDAR NVS. However, most methods heavily rely on accurate camera poses for scene reconstruction. The sparsity and textureless nature of LiDAR data also present distinct challenges, leading to geometric holes and discontinuous surfaces. To address these issues, we propose SG-NLF, a pose-free LiDAR NeRF framework that integrates spectral information with geometric consistency. Specifically, we design a hybrid representation based on spectral priors to reconstruct smooth geometry. For pose optimization, we construct a confidence-aware graph based on feature compatibility to achieve global alignment. In addition, an adversarial learning strategy is introduced to enforce cross-frame consistency, thereby enhancing reconstruction quality. Comprehensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework, especially in challenging low-frequency scenarios. Compared to previous state-of-the-art methods, SG-NLF improves reconstruction quality and pose accuracy by over 35.8% and 68.8%. Our work can provide a novel perspective for LiDAR view synthesis.

Current approaches to zero-shot 3D-object perception typically rely on ensembles of frozen foundation models. This limits deep object understanding and cross-domain generalization, making performance inadequate for real-world deployment. The 3D-Object Perception Transformer (3PT) addresses this limitation by unifying detection, segmentation, and 6DoF pose estimation in a single framework, directly trained for 3D-object perception. Based on two large-scale trained transformers that specialize in 2D and 3D object-centric scene understanding respectively, 3PT continuously refines its object representations without depth input, enhancing 3D understanding by incorporating multi-view information. 3PT is the state-of-the-art for detection and pose estimation on the BOP benchmarks, often achieving double digit improvements, in many cases, outperforming non-zero-shot methods, and winning 7 of 11 tracks in the BOP-2025 challenge. 3PT surpasses task-specialized models for detection and pose estimation, often achieving double-digit percentage improvements on the diverse BOP-benchmarks, and in some cases outperforming non zero-shot methods. It also ranked first in 7 of 11 tracks at the BOP Challenge 2025. 3PT's high-accuracy and reliability is well-suited for practical industrial robotics applications such as bin picking and precise insertion.

In this paper, we present DSERT-RoLL, a driving dataset that incorporates stereo event, RGB, and thermal cameras together with 4D radar and dual LiDAR, collected across diverse weather and illumination conditions. The dataset provides precise 2D and 3D bounding boxes with track IDs and ego vehicle odometry, enabling fair comparisons within and across sensor combinations. It is designed to alleviate data scarcity for novel sensors such as event cameras and 4D radar and to support systematic studies of their behavior. We establish unified 3D and 2D benchmarks that enable direct comparison of characteristics and strengths across sensor families and within each family. We report baselines for representative single modality and multimodal methods and provide protocols that encourage research on different fusion strategies and sensor combinations. In addition, we propose a fusion framework that integrates sensor specific cues into a unified feature space and improves 3D detection robustness under varied weather and lighting.

Radar is a critical perception modality in autonomous driving systems due to its all-weather characteristics and ability to measure range and Doppler velocity. However, the sheer volume of high-dimensional raw radar data saturates the communication link to the computing engine (e.g., an NPU), which is often a low-bandwidth interface with data rate provisioned only for a few low-resolution range-Doppler frames. A generalized codec for utilizing high-dimensional radar data is notably absent, while existing image-domain approaches are unsuitable, as they typically operate at fixed compression ratios and fail to adapt to varying or adversarial conditions. In light of this, we propose radar data compression with adaptive feedback. It dynamically adjusts the compression ratio by performing gradient descent from the proxy gradient of detection confidence with respect to the compression rate. We employ a zeroth-order gradient approximation as it enables gradient computation even with non-differentiable core operations--pruning and quantization. This also avoids transmitting the gradient tensors over the band-limited link, which, if estimated, would be as large as the original radar data. In addition, we have found that radar feature maps are heavily concentrated on a few frequency components. Thus, we apply the discrete cosine transform to the radar data cubes and selectively prune out the coefficients effectively. We preserve the dynamic range of each radar patch through scaled quantization. Combining those techniques, our proposed online adaptive compression scheme achieves over 100x feature size reduction at minimal performance drop ( 1%p). We validate our results on the RADIal, CARRADA, and Radatron datasets.

World models, which simulate environmental dynamics and generate sensor observations, are gaining increasing attention in autonomous driving. However, progress in LiDAR-based world models has lagged behind those built on camera videos or occupancy data, primarily due to two core challenges: the inherent disorder of LiDAR point clouds and the difficulty of distinguishing dynamic objects from static structures. To address these issues, we propose GEM: a Generative LiDAR world model that leverages dEformable Mamba architecture, significantly improving fidelity and imaginative capability. Specifically, leveraging the structural similarity between sequential laser scanning and Mamba's processing mechanism, we first tokenize LiDAR sweeps into compact representations via a custom LiDAR scene tokenizer. After unsupervised disentanglement of tokenized features via a dynamic-static separator, a tri-path deformable Mamba is introduced to perform selective scanning and adaptive gating fusion over the disentangled features, leading to enhanced spatial-temporal understanding of the world evolution. Optionally, a planner and a BEV layout controller can be integrated to explore the model's capability for autonomous rollout and its potential to generate "what-if" scenarios. Extensive experiments show that GEM achieves state-of-the-art performances across diverse benchmarks and evaluation settings, demonstrating its superiority and effectiveness.

LiDAR-based 3D human motion capture has broad applications in fields such as autonomous driving and robotics, where accurate motion reconstruction is crucial. However, existing methods often struggle with unstable inputs and severe occlusions, leading to jittery or even failed pose predictions. To address these challenges, we propose BMLiCap, a coarse-to-fine framework that models motion using temporally compressible Bezier curves. By reducing control points through a trajectory-preserving strategy, we obtain a coherent and learning-friendly motion representation. To reconstruct human actions from LiDAR point-cloud cues, we design a progressive motion-reconstruction module. Specifically, a Time-scale Motion Transformer (TMT) is introduced to predict motion curves at multiple temporal scales, and a Multi-level Motion Aggregator (MMA) is utilized to adaptively fuse the multi-scale curves to recover detailed, temporally coherent poses, effectively bridging observation gaps caused by occlusions and noise. Across four mainstream benchmarks LiDARHuman26M, FreeMotion, NoiseMotion, and SLOPER4D, BMLiCap achieves state-of-the-art accuracy and temporal continuity in complex scenes, demonstrating its ability to compensate for severe occlusions and reduce prediction jitter.

Object detection has long been dominated by traditional coordinate regression-based models, such as YOLO, DETR, and Grounding DINO. Although recent efforts have attempted to leverage MLLMs to tackle this task, they face challenges like low recall rate, duplicate predictions, coordinate misalignment, etc. In this work, we bridge this gap and propose Rex-Omni, a 3B-scale MLLM that achieves state-of-the-art object perception performance. On benchmarks like COCO and LVIS, Rex-Omni attains performance comparable to or exceeding regression-based models (e.g., DINO, Grounding DINO) in a zero-shot setting. This is enabled by three key designs: 1) Task Formulation: we use special tokens to represent quantized coordinates from 0 to 999, reducing the model's learning difficulty and improving token efficiency for coordinate prediction; 2) Data Engines: we construct multiple data engines to generate high-quality grounding, referring, and pointing data, providing semantically rich supervision for training; 3) Training Pipelines: we employ a two-stage training process, combining supervised fine-tuning on 22 million data with GRPO-based reinforcement post-training. This RL post-training leverages geometry-aware rewards to effectively bridge the discrete-to-continuous coordinate prediction gap, improve box accuracy, and mitigate undesirable behaviors like duplicate predictions that stem from the teacher-guided nature of the initial SFT stage. Beyond conventional detection, Rex-Omni's inherent language understanding enables versatile capabilities such as object referring, pointing, visual prompting, GUI grounding, spatial referring, OCR and key-pointing, all systematically evaluated on dedicated benchmarks. We believe that Rex-Omni paves the way for more versatile and language-aware visual perception systems.

LiDAR relocalization has attracted increasing attention as it can deliver accurate 6-DoF pose estimation in complex 3D environments. Recent learning-based regression methods offer efficient solutions by directly predicting global poses without the need for explicit map storage. However, these methods often struggle in challenging scenes due to their equal treatment of all predicted points, which is vulnerable to noise and outliers. In this paper, we propose LEADER, a robust LiDAR-based relocalization framework enhanced by a simple, yet effective geometric encoder. Specifically, a Robust Projection-based Geometric Encoder architecture which captures multi-scale geometric features is first presented to enhance descriptiveness in geometric representation. A Truncated Relative Reliability loss is then formulated to model point-wise ambiguity and mitigate the influence of unreliable predictions. Extensive experiments on the Oxford RobotCar and NCLT datasets demonstrate that LEADER outperforms state-of-the-art methods, achieving 24.1% and 73.9% relative reductions in position error over existing techniques, respectively. The source code is released on https://github.com/JiansW/LEADER.

3D Large Vision-Language Models (3D LVLMs) built upon Large Language Models (LLMs) have achieved remarkable progress across various multimodal tasks. However, their inherited position-dependent modeling mechanism, Rotary Position Embedding (RoPE), remains suboptimal for 3D multimodal understanding. The vanilla RoPE formulation fails to preserve essential three-dimensional spatial structures when encoding 3D tokens, and its relative distance computation overlooks angular dependencies hindering the model's ability to capture directional variations in visual representations. To overcome these limitations, we introduce Spherical Coordinate-based Positional Embedding (SoPE). Our method maps point-cloud token indices into a 3D spherical coordinate space, enabling unified modeling of spatial locations and directional angles. This formulation preserves the inherent geometric structure of point-cloud data, enhances spatial awareness, and yields more consistent and expressive geometric representations for multimodal learning. In addition, we introduce a multi-scale frequency mixing strategy to fuse feature information across different frequency domains. Experimental results on multiple 3D scene benchmarks validate the effectiveness of our approach, while real-world deployment experiments further demonstrate its strong generalization capability.
