This work focuses on modeling dynamic urban environments for autonomous driving simulation. Contemporary data-driven methods using neural radiance fields have achieved photorealistic driving scene modeling, but they suffer from low rendering efficacy. Recently, some approaches have explored 3D Gauss…
Existing 3D point tracking methods mostly rely on heuristic designs or scene reconstruction, which incurs significant computational overhead and makes it difficult to meet the demands of real-time applications. To address this problem, in this work, we present a novel spatial tracker that leverages
This work focuses on the problem of 6D pose estimation for novel objects when a reference 3D model or posed reference images are not available. While existing methods can estimate the precise 6D pose of objects, they heavily rely on curated CAD models or reference images, the preparation of which is…
This paper focuses on scene reconstruction under nighttime conditions in autonomous driving simulation. Recent methods based on Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have achieved photorealistic modeling in autonomous driving scene reconstruction, but they primarily focus o…

"Generating 3D vehicle assets from in-the-wild observations is crucial to autonomous driving. Existing image-to-3D methods cannot well address this problem because they learn generation merely from image RGB information without a deeper understanding of in-the-wild vehicles (such as car models, manu…
Reconstructing 3D vehicles from noisy and sparse partial point clouds is of great significance to autonomous driving. Most existing 3D reconstruction methods cannot be directly applied to this problem because they are elaborately designed to deal with dense inputs with trivial noise. In this work, w…
Contemporary LiDAR-based 3D object detection methods mostly focus on single-domain learning or cross-domain adaptive learning. However, for autonomous driving systems, optimizing a specific LiDAR-based 3D object detector for each domain is costly and lacks of scalability in real-world deployment. It…
"Domain adaptation (DA) aims to transfer knowledge learned from a labeled source domain to an unlabeled or a less labeled but related target domain. Ideally, the source and target distributions should be aligned to each other equally to achieve unbiased knowledge transfer. However, due to the signif…
Contemporary domain generalization (DG) and multi-source unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) methods mostly collect data from multiple domains together for joint optimization. However, this centralized training paradigm poses a threat to data privacy and is not applicable when data are non-shared a…
Deep learning has been successful for many computer vision tasks due to the availability of shared and centralised large-scale training data. However, increasing awareness of privacy concerns poses new challenges to deep learning, especially for human subject related recognition such as person re-id…
Existing person re-identification (Re-ID) methods mostly prepare all training data in advance, while real-world Re-ID data are inherently captured over time or from different locations, which requires a model to be incrementally generalised from sequential learning of piecemeal new data without forg…
Traditional knowledge distillation uses a two-stage training strategy to transfer knowledge from a high-capacity teacher model to a compact student model, which relies heavily on the pre-trained teacher. Recent online knowledge distillation alleviates this limitation by collaborative learning, mutua…
Class-incremental learning (CIL) aims at continuously updating a trained model with new classes (plasticity) without forgetting previously learned old ones (stability). Contemporary studies resort to storing representative exemplars for rehearsal or preventing consolidated model parameters from drif…
