Diffusion-Based Generative Models for 3D Occupancy Prediction in Autonomous Driving [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Accurately predicting 3D occupancy grids from visual inputs is critical for autonomous driving, but current discriminative methods struggle with noisy data, incomplete observations, and the complex structures inherent in 3D scenes. In this work, we reframe 3D occupancy prediction as a generative modeling task using diffusion models, which learn the ...
