FDR-Occ: Factorized Dense Routing for Full-Spectrum 3D Occupancy Prediction

Vision-based 3D occupancy prediction fundamentally relies on the 2D-to-3D view transformation. Current paradigms predominantly utilize explicit physical projection, which artificially restricts the routing matrix to strict, sparse camera rays. While computationally efficient, this imposes a severe Locality Bottleneck, preventing the network from constructing holistic contextual understanding and degrading sharply when camera extrinsics are unreliable or absent. To break this bottleneck, we abstract view transformation as unconstrained bipartite routing and propose Factorized Dense Routing (FDR). By approximating dense 2D-to-3D mixing through hierarchical tensor contractions, FDR guarantees a fully-global receptive field with tractable, sub-quadratic complexity. Crucially, the mandatory spatial contraction in dense routing exposes a fundamental Resolution-Context Trade-off. To address this, we introduce a Resolution-Context Decoupled Architecture. We factorize the 3D space into a global macroscopic topological anchor (via FDR) and precise local geometric planes (via explicit projection). This decoupling enables global semantic inference and exact surface localization to complement each other without mutual compromise. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our framework achieves state-of-the-art performance on the Occ3D-nuScenes and Occ3D-Waymo benchmarks. More notably, in an uncalibrated setting where physical extrinsics are withheld, our global routing internalizes the implicit multi-camera rig topology and exhibits substantially stronger structural robustness than physical-projection baselines under the same protocol.

From Human Intention to Action Prediction: Intention-Driven End-to-End Autonomous Driving

While end-to-end autonomous driving has achieved remarkable progress in geometric control, current systems remain constrained by a command-following paradigm that relies on simple navigational instructions. Transitioning to genuinely intelligent agents requires the capability to interpret and fulfill high-level, abstract human intentions. However, this advancement is hindered by the lack of dedicated benchmarks and semantic-aware evaluation metrics. In this paper, we formally define the task of Intention-Driven End-to-End Autonomous Driving and present Intention-Drive, a comprehensive benchmark designed to bridge this gap. We construct a large-scale dataset featuring complex natural language intentions paired with high-fidelity sensor data. To overcome the limitations of conventional trajectory-based metrics, we introduce the Imagined Future Alignment (IFA), a novel evaluation protocol leveraging generative world models to assess the semantic fulfillment of human goals beyond mere geometric accuracy. Furthermore, we explore the solution space by proposing two distinct paradigms: an end-to-end vision-language planner and a hierarchical agent-based framework. The experiments reveal a critical dichotomy where existing models exhibit satisfactory driving stability but struggle significantly with intention fulfillment. Notably, the proposed frameworks demonstrate superior alignment with human intentions.

HiCoGen: Hierarchical Compositional Text-to-Image Generation in Diffusion Models via Reinforcement Learning

Recent advances in diffusion models have demonstrated impressive capability in generating high-quality images for simple prompts. However, when confronted with complex prompts involving multiple objects and hierarchical structures, existing models struggle to accurately follow instructions, leading to issues such as concept omission, confusion, and poor compositionality. To address these limitations, we propose a Hierarchical Compositional Generative framework (HiCoGen) built upon a novel Chain of Synthesis (CoS) paradigm. Instead of monolithic generation, HiCoGen first leverages a Large Language Model (LLM) to decompose complex prompts into minimal semantic units. It then synthesizes these units iteratively, where the image generated in each step provides crucial visual context for the next, ensuring all textual concepts are faithfully constructed into the final scene. To further optimize this process, we introduce a reinforcement learning (RL) framework. Crucially, we identify that the limited exploration of standard diffusion samplers hinders effective RL. We theoretically prove that sample diversity is maximized by concentrating stochasticity in the early generation stages and, based on this insight, propose a novel Decaying Stochasticity Schedule to enhance exploration. Our RL algorithm is then guided by a hierarchical reward mechanism that jointly evaluates the image at the global, subject, and relationship levels. We also construct HiCoPrompt, a new text-to-image benchmark with hierarchical prompts for rigorous evaluation. Experiments show our approach significantly outperforms existing methods in both concept coverage and compositional accuracy.

Weakly Supervised Monocular 3D Object Detection using Multi-View Projection and Direction Consistency

Monocular 3D object detection has become a mainstream approach in automatic driving for its easy application. A prominent advantage is that it does not need LiDAR point clouds during the inference. However, most current methods still rely on 3D point cloud data for labeling the ground truths used in the training phase. This inconsistency between the training and inference makes it hard to utilize the large-scale feedback data and increases the data collection expenses. To bridge this gap, we propose a new weakly supervised monocular 3D objection detection method, which can train the model with only 2D labels marked on images. To be specific, we explore three types of consistency in this task, i.e. the projection, multi-view and direction consistency, and design a weakly-supervised architecture based on these consistencies. Moreover, we propose a new 2D direction labeling method in this task to guide the model for accurate rotation direction prediction. Experiments show that our weakly-supervised method achieves comparable performance with some fully supervised methods. When used as a pre-training method, our model can significantly outperform the corresponding fully-supervised baseline with only 1/3 3D labels. https://github.com/weakmono3d/weakmono3d
