Open-vocabulary 3D object detection with promptable segmentation

Three-dimensional object detection for autonomous driving is dominated by detectors trained on large corpora of human-annotated 3D boxes. Such a detector learns a fixed category list, and everything outside it is invisible. This paper asks whether the task can be solved training-free and open-vocabulary. A promptable segmentation model (SAM3), queried with class names as text prompts, supplies instance masks in the vehicle's six surround-view cameras, and the masks are turned into metric 3D boxes using the geometry of the scene. The core is a controlled three-stage comparison on nuScenes in which 2D detection is held fixed and only the source of 3D geometry changes. Geometry predicted from images alone reaches 0.183 mean average precision (mAP) under the official protocol; fitting boxes from raw LiDAR points inside the same masks with training-free rules reaches 0.298 mAP / 0.348 nuScenes detection score (NDS) at zero labeling cost; borrowing supervised box geometry at inference time lifts the same detections to 0.413 mAP / 0.555 NDS, which locates the pipeline's largest deficit in measurement precision rather than 2D detection, while class confusion and confidence calibration survive that substitution. Reversing the direction, a three-state camera-witness rule built from the same masks improves a supervised LiDAR-only detector from 0.596 to 0.630 mAP, roughly half the gain of fully supervised camera fusion, with no training. A coverage analysis shows that SAM3 finds 84% of in-range objects with a correctly named mask; the classes that fail in the official metric are misnamed or geometrically unforgiving, not unseen.

Machine Learning-Based Manufacturing Cost Prediction from 2D Engineering Drawings via Geometric Features

We present an integrated machine learning framework that transforms how manufacturing cost is estimated from 2D engineering drawings. Unlike traditional quotation workflows that require labor-intensive process planning, our approach about 200 geometric and statistical descriptors directly from 13,684 DWG drawings of automotive suspension and steering parts spanning 24 product groups. Gradient-boosted decision tree models (XGBoost, CatBoost, LightGBM) trained on these features achieve nearly 10% mean absolute percentage error across groups, demonstrating robust scalability beyond part-specific heuristics. By coupling cost prediction with explainability tools such as SHAP, the framework identifies geometric design drivers including rotated dimension maxima, arc statistics and divergence metrics, offering actionable insights for cost-aware design. This end-to-end CAD-to-cost pipeline shortens quotation lead times, ensures consistent and transparent cost assessments across part families and provides a deployable pathway toward real-time, ERP-integrated decision support in Industry 4.0 manufacturing environments.

Accelerating Self-Supervised Learning via Efficient Training Strategies

Recently the focus of the computer vision community has shifted from expensive supervised learning towards self-supervised learning of visual representations. While the performance gap between supervised and self-supervised has been narrowing, the time for training self-supervised deep networks remains an order of magnitude larger than its supervised counterparts, which hinders progress, imposes carbon cost, and limits societal benefits to institutions with substantial resources. Motivated by these issues, this paper investigates reducing the training time of recent self-supervised methods by various model-agnostic strategies that have not been used for this problem. In particular, we study three strategies: an extendable cyclic learning rate schedule, a matching progressive augmentation magnitude and image resolutions schedule, and a hard positive mining strategy based on augmentation difficulty. We show that all three methods combined lead up to 2.7 times speed-up in the training time of several self-supervised methods while retaining comparable performance to the standard self-supervised learning setting.
