FishRoPE: Projective Rotary Position Embeddings for Omnidirectional Visual Perception

Vision foundation models (VFMs) and Bird's Eye View (BEV) representation have advanced visual perception substantially, yet their internal spatial representations assume the rectilinear geometry of pinhole cameras. Fisheye cameras, widely deployed on production autonomous vehicles for their surround-view coverage, exhibit severe radial distortion that renders these representations geometrically inconsistent. At the same time, the scarcity of large-scale fisheye annotations makes retraining foundation models from scratch impractical. We present \ours, a lightweight framework that adapts frozen VFMs to fisheye geometry through two components: a frozen DINOv2 backbone with Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) that transfers rich self-supervised features to fisheye without task-specific pretraining, and Fisheye Rotary Position Embedding (FishRoPE), which reparameterizes the attention mechanism in the spherical coordinates of the fisheye projection so that both self-attention and cross-attention operate on angular separation rather than pixel distance. FishRoPE is architecture-agnostic, introduces negligible computational overhead, and naturally reduces to the standard formulation under pinhole geometry. We evaluate \ours on WoodScape 2D detection (54.3 mAP) and SynWoodScapes BEV segmentation (65.1 mIoU), where it achieves state-of-the-art results on both benchmarks.

MambaFusion: Adaptive State-Space Fusion for Multimodal 3D Object Detection

Reliable 3D object detection is fundamental to autonomous driving, and multimodal fusion algorithms using cameras and LiDAR remain a persistent challenge. Cameras provide dense visual cues but ill posed depth; LiDAR provides a precise 3D structure but sparse coverage. Existing BEV-based fusion frameworks have made good progress, but they have difficulties including inefficient context modeling, spatially invariant fusion, and reasoning under uncertainty. We introduce MambaFusion, a unified multi-modal detection framework that achieves efficient, adaptive, and physically grounded 3D perception. MambaFusion interleaves selective state-space models (SSMs) with windowed transformers to propagate the global context in linear time while preserving local geometric fidelity. A multi-modal token alignment (MTA) module and reliability-aware fusion gates dynamically re-weight camera-LiDAR features based on spatial confidence and calibration consistency. Finally, a structure-conditioned diffusion head integrates graph-based reasoning with uncertainty-aware denoising, enforcing physical plausibility, and calibrated confidence. MambaFusion establishes new state-of-the-art performance on nuScenes benchmarks while operating with linear-time complexity. The framework demonstrates that coupling SSM-based efficiency with reliability-driven fusion yields robust, temporally stable, and interpretable 3D perception for real-world autonomous driving systems.
