aiqbench analysis

This study tackles the critical Sim-to-Real gap in autonomous driving by leveraging synthetic data generation and advanced fusion techniques to improve LiDAR object detection on real-world frames. The approach combines density-aligned sampling, multi-detector specialization, and rigorous calibration to achieve high realism scores while maintaining competitive detection metrics under strict training constraints.

Solution for UCF UrbanTwin LUMPI Track: Sim-to-Real Urban LiDAR 3D Object Detection

arXiv2 min read

arXiv:2609.07590v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present our solution to the LUMPI track of the UCF UrbanTwin Sim2Real LiDAR Challenge at the 6th DriveX Workshop, ECCV 2026. The detector must be trained only on synthetic data and is evaluated on 50 held-out real LiDAR frames; a separate 50-frame synthetic submission is evaluated for point-cloud realism. Our method addresses the Sim2Real gap at three levels. First, we align synthetic scans to the 50k-point test density and build a 30k-record training pool using UT-LUMPI geometry, RangeLDM-based sampling diversification, rare-class copy-paste, and pedestrian-oriented augmentation. Second, complementary DSVT detectors and Car/Bus PointPillars specialists are trained under the same synthetic-only constraint. Third, predictions are integrated by class-aware routing, asymmetric agreement fusion, constrained residual-recall supplementation, class-coverage auditing, and selective box-size calibration. The realism branch is optimized independently with radial-density matching, weak affine calibration, and calibrated set mixing. The final submission obtains a Combined Score of 0.4692, a Detection Score of 0.1797, a Realism Score of 0.9035, and 3D mAP@0.5 of 0.1258.
