CATNet: Collaborative Alignment and Transformation Network for Cooperative Perception

Cooperative perception significantly enhances scene understanding by integrating complementary information from diverse agents. However, existing research often overlooks critical challenges inherent in real-world multi-source data integration, specifically high temporal latency and multi-source noise. To address these practical limitations, we propose Collaborative Alignment and Transformation Network (CATNet), an adaptive compensation framework that resolves temporal latency and noise interference in multi-agent systems. Our key innovations can be summarized in three aspects. First, we introduce a Spatio-Temporal Recurrent Synchronization (STSync) that aligns asynchronous feature streams via adjacent-frame differential modeling, establishing a temporal-spatially unified representation space. Second, we design a Dual-Branch Wavelet Enhanced Denoiser (WTDen) that suppresses global noise and reconstructs localized feature distortions within aligned representations. Third, we construct an Adaptive Feature Selector (AdpSel) that dynamically focuses on critical perceptual features for robust fusion. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets demonstrate that CATNet consistently outperforms existing methods under complex traffic conditions, proving its superior robustness and adaptability.

CoopDiff: A Diffusion-Guided Approach for Cooperation under Corruptions

Cooperative perception lets agents share information to expand coverage and improve scene understanding. However, in real-world scenarios, diverse and unpredictable corruptions undermine its robustness and generalization. To address these challenges, we introduce CoopDiff, a diffusion-based cooperative perception framework that mitigates corruptions via a denoising mechanism. CoopDiff adopts a teacher-student paradigm: the Quality-Aware Teacher performs voxel-level early fusion with Quality of Interest weighting and semantic guidance, then produces clean supervision features via a diffusion denoiser. The Dual-Branch Diffusion Student first separates ego and cooperative streams in encoding to reconstruct the teacher's clean targets. And then, an Ego-Guided Cross-Attention mechanism facilitates balanced decoding under degradation by adaptively integrating ego and cooperative features. We evaluate CoopDiff on two constructed multi-degradation benchmarks, OPV2Vn and DAIR-V2Xn, each incorporating six corruption types, including environmental and sensor-level distortions. Benefiting from the inherent denoising properties of diffusion, CoopDiff consistently outperforms prior methods across all degradation types and lowers the relative corruption error. Furthermore, it offers a tunable balance between precision and inference efficiency.

CoRA: A Collaborative Robust Architecture with Hybrid Fusion for Efficient Perception

Collaborative perception has garnered significant attention as a crucial technology to overcome the perceptual limitations of single-agent systems. Many state-of-the-art (SOTA) methods have achieved communication efficiency and high performance via intermediate fusion. However, they share a critical vulnerability: their performance degrades under adverse communication conditions due to the misalignment induced by data transmission, which severely hampers their practical deployment. To bridge this gap, we re-examine different fusion paradigms, and recover that the strengths of intermediate and late fusion are not a trade-off, but a complementary pairing. Based on this key insight, we propose CoRA, a novel collaborative robust architecture with a hybrid approach to decouple performance from robustness with low communication. It is composed of two components: a feature-level fusion branch and an object-level correction branch. Its first branch selects critical features and fuses them efficiently to ensure both performance and scalability. The second branch leverages semantic relevance to correct spatial displacements, guaranteeing resilience against pose errors. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of CoRA. Under extreme scenarios, CoRA improves upon its baseline performance by approximately 19% in AP@0.7 with more than 5x less communication volume, which makes it a promising solution for robust collaborative perception.

Arcturus: A Cloud Overlay Network for Global Accelerator with Enhanced Performance and Stability

Global Accelerator (GA) services play a vital role in ensuring low-latency, high-reliability communication for real-time interactive applications. However, existing GA offerings are tightly bound to specific cloud providers, resulting in high costs, rigid deployment, and limited flexibility, especially for large-scale or budget-sensitive deployments. Arcturus is a cloud-native GA framework that revisits the design of GA systems by leveraging low-cost, heterogeneous cloud resources across multiple providers. Rather than relying on fixed, high-end infrastructure, Arcturus dynamically constructs its acceleration network and balances performance, stability, and resource efficiency. To achieve this, Arcturus introduces a two-plane design: a forwarding plane that builds a proxy network with adaptive control, and a scheduling plane that coordinates load and routing through lightweight, quantitative optimization. Evaluations under millions of RPS show that Arcturus outperforms commercial GA services by up to 1.7X in acceleration performance, reduces cost by 71%, and maintains over 80% resource efficiency--demonstrating efficient use of cloud resources at scale.
