This research introduces OccTrack360, a new benchmark designed to advance 4D panoptic occupancy tracking specifically for surround-view fisheye cameras used in autonomous driving and robotics. By addressing challenges like spherical projection distortion and long temporal sequences, the proposed FoSOcc framework establishes a robust baseline with improved instance-level voxel localization. The release of this dataset and source code will likely accelerate progress in dynamic 3D environment understanding within these critical domains.

OccTrack360: 4D Panoptic Occupancy Tracking from Surround-View Fisheye Cameras

arXiv3 min read

arXiv:2603.08521v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Understanding dynamic 3D environments in a spatially continuous and temporally consistent manner is fundamental for robotics and autonomous driving. While recent advances in occupancy prediction provide a unified representation of scene geometry and semantics, progress in 4D panoptic occupancy tracking remains limited by the lack of benchmarks that support surround-view fisheye sensing, long temporal sequences, and instance-level voxel tracking. To address this gap, we present OccTrack360, a new benchmark for 4D panoptic occupancy tracking from surround-view fisheye cameras. OccTrack360 provides substantially longer and more diverse sequences (174~2234 frames) than prior benchmarks, together with principled voxel visibility annotations, including an all-direction occlusion mask and an MEI-based fisheye field-of-view mask. To establish a strong fisheye-oriented baseline, we further propose Focus on Sphere Occ (FoSOcc), a framework that addresses two core challenges in fisheye occupancy tracking: distorted spherical projection and inaccurate voxel-space localization. FoSOcc includes a Center Focusing Module (CFM) to enhance instance-aware spatial localization through supervised focus guidance, and a Fisheye-based Enhanced Lifting (FEL) that extends perspective lifting to fisheye imaging under the Unified Projection Model. Extensive experiments on Occ3D-Waymo and OccTrack360 show that our method improves occupancy tracking quality with notable gains on geometrically regular categories, and establishes a strong baseline for future research on surround-view fisheye 4D occupancy tracking. The benchmark and source code will be made publicly available at https://github.com/YouthZest-Lin/OccTrack360.
