SurroundNEXO: Ego-Centric Metric Bridging for Spatially Consistent Geometry in Autonomous Driving
Researchers have introduced SurroundNEXO, a novel framework designed to improve metric depth prediction for autonomous driving systems. This approach addresses the challenge of limited visual overlap between cameras by utilizing ego-centric geometry and sparse LiDAR measurements as anchors for scale propagation. SurroundNEXO demonstrates significant improvements in reducing single-view error, enhancing cross-view consistency, and boosting metric reconstruction quality on benchmarks like NuScenes, Waymo, and DDAD.
