D3VL: Understanding Driving Scenes from 3D Time Series Data and Video with Language Models

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.19528v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have triggered the development of end-to-end MLLMs for autonomous driving. However, the main emphasis to date has been for MLLMs using 2D images and videos. In contrast, this paper considers MLLM effectiveness using 3D sensors, particularly LiDAR and stereo cameras. LiDAR presents unique challenges to integration within an MLLM, largely because of data sparsity and lack of a grid structure for the data. For similar reasons, fusion of camera and LiDAR data within an MLLM pipeline is also uncommon. However, most autonomous systems rely on LiDAR-based sensing, and incorporating 3D data has been proven to improve performance in traditional 3D scene perception tasks. This paper presents
