Fed3D: Federated 3D Object Detection

3D object detection models trained in one server plays an important role in autonomous driving, robotics manipulation, and augmented reality scenarios. However, most existing methods face severe privacy concern when deployed on a multi-robot perception network to explore large-scale 3D scene. Meanwhile, it is highly challenging to employ conventional federated learning methods on 3D object detection scenes, due to the 3D data heterogeneity and limited communication bandwidth. In this paper, we take the first attempt to propose a novel Federated 3D object detection framework (i.e., Fed3D), to enable distributed learning for 3D object detection with privacy preservation. Specifically, considering the irregular input 3D object in local robot and various category distribution between robots could cause local heterogeneity and global heterogeneity, respectively. We then propose a local-global class-aware loss for the 3D data heterogeneity issue, which could balance gradient back-propagation rate of different 3D categories from local and global aspects. To reduce communication cost on each round, we develop a federated 3D prompt module, which could only learn and communicate the prompts with few learnable parameters. To the end, several extensive experiments on federated 3D object detection show that our Fed3D model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms with lower communication cost when providing the limited local training data.

OpenVLN: Open-world Aerial Vision-Language Navigation

Vision-language models (VLMs) have been widely-applied in ground-based vision-language navigation (VLN). However, the vast complexity of outdoor aerial environments compounds data acquisition challenges and imposes long-horizon trajectory planning requirements on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), introducing novel complexities for aerial VLN. To address these challenges, we propose a data-efficient Open-world aerial Vision-Language Navigation (i.e., OpenVLN) framework, which could execute language-guided flight with limited data constraints and enhance long-horizon trajectory planning capabilities in complex aerial environments. Specifically, we reconfigure a reinforcement learning framework to optimize the VLM for UAV navigation tasks, which can efficiently fine-tune VLM by using rule-based policies under limited training data. Concurrently, we introduce a long-horizon planner for trajectory synthesis that dynamically generates precise UAV actions via value-based rewards. To the end, we conduct sufficient navigation experiments on the TravelUAV benchmark with dataset scaling across diverse reward settings. Our method demonstrates consistent performance gains of up to 4.34% in Success Rate, 6.19% in Oracle Success Rate, and 4.07% in Success weighted by Path Length over baseline methods, validating its deployment efficacy for long-horizon UAV navigation in complex aerial environments.
