HEAT: Heterogeneous End-to-End Autonomous Driving via Trajectory-Guided World Models

End-to-end autonomous driving has emerged as a compelling alternative to traditional modular pipelines by directly mapping raw sensor data to driving actions. While recent approaches achieve strong performance on single-domain datasets, their performance degrades significantly when trained jointly across multiple heterogeneous domains. In practice, however, autonomous systems must operate across diverse environments with heterogeneous distributions, including different cities, sensor configurations, and traffic patterns, without domain-specific retraining. This gap highlights a key challenge in multi-domain learning: domain-specific variations across heterogeneous domains introduce conflicting learning signals, driving models toward compromised solutions that are suboptimal across domains. To address this, we propose a trajectory-driven learning paradigm that organizes training around planning trajectories, enabling the model to capture domain-invariant representations of driving intent. Furthermore, we incorporate a world model that predicts future latent features conditioned on ego actions, improving feature consistency and mitigating domain-induced biases. We evaluate our approach on three benchmarks, nuScenes, NAVSIM, and the Waymo end-to-end dataset, and show substantial improvements over existing methods across all domains. Our results demonstrate that a single unified model can be trained on heterogeneous datasets while maintaining strong performance within each domain, highlighting a step toward scalable real-world deployment. We will make our code publicly available.

DSERT-RoLL: Robust Multi-Modal Perception for Diverse Driving Conditions with Stereo Event-RGB-Thermal Cameras, 4D Radar, and Dual-LiDAR

In this paper, we present DSERT-RoLL, a driving dataset that incorporates stereo event, RGB, and thermal cameras together with 4D radar and dual LiDAR, collected across diverse weather and illumination conditions. The dataset provides precise 2D and 3D bounding boxes with track IDs and ego vehicle odometry, enabling fair comparisons within and across sensor combinations. It is designed to alleviate data scarcity for novel sensors such as event cameras and 4D radar and to support systematic studies of their behavior. We establish unified 3D and 2D benchmarks that enable direct comparison of characteristics and strengths across sensor families and within each family. We report baselines for representative single modality and multimodal methods and provide protocols that encourage research on different fusion strategies and sensor combinations. In addition, we propose a fusion framework that integrates sensor specific cues into a unified feature space and improves 3D detection robustness under varied weather and lighting.

Event6D: Event-based Novel Object 6D Pose Tracking

Event cameras provide microsecond latency, making them suitable for 6D object pose tracking in fast, dynamic scenes where conventional RGB and depth pipelines suffer from motion blur and large pixel displacements. We introduce EventTrack6D, an event-depth tracking framework that generalizes to novel objects without object-specific training by reconstructing both intensity and depth at arbitrary timestamps between depth frames. Conditioned on the most recent depth measurement, our dual reconstruction recovers dense photometric and geometric cues from sparse event streams. Our EventTrack6D operates at over 120 FPS and maintains temporal consistency under rapid motion. To support training and evaluation, we introduce a comprehensive benchmark suite: a large-scale synthetic dataset for training and two complementary evaluation sets, including real and simulated event datasets. Trained exclusively on synthetic data, EventTrack6D generalizes effectively to real-world scenarios without fine-tuning, maintaining accurate tracking across diverse objects and motion patterns. Our method and datasets validate the effectiveness of event cameras for event-based 6D pose tracking of novel objects. Code and datasets are publicly available at https://chohoonhee.github.io/Event6D.

Temporal Event Stereo via Joint Learning with Stereoscopic Flow

Event cameras are dynamic vision sensors inspired by the biological retina, characterized by their high dynamic range, high temporal resolution, and low power consumption. These features make them capable of perceiving 3D environments even in extreme conditions. Event data is continuous across the time dimension, which allows a detailed description of each pixel's movements. To fully utilize the temporally dense and continuous nature of event cameras, we propose a novel temporal event stereo, a framework that continuously uses information from previous time steps. This is accomplished through the simultaneous training of an event stereo matching network alongside stereoscopic flow, a new concept that captures all pixel movements from stereo cameras. Since obtaining ground truth for optical flow during training is challenging, we propose a method that uses only disparity maps to train the stereoscopic flow. The performance of event-based stereo matching is enhanced by temporally aggregating information using the flows. We have achieved state-of-the-art performance on the MVSEC and the DSEC datasets. The method is computationally efficient, as it stacks previous information in a cascading manner. The code is available at https://github.com/mickeykang16/TemporalEventStereo.
