New benchmark and method tackle noisy labels in 3D semantic occupancy prediction

Researchers have introduced OccNL, a new benchmark designed to evaluate 3D semantic occupancy prediction models under noisy label conditions. They found that existing 2D label noise learning strategies perform poorly in sparse 3D voxel spaces. To address this, they developed DPR-Occ, a framework that uses dual-source partial label reasoning to create reliable supervision by leveraging temporal model memory and representation-level structural affinity. Experiments on SemanticKITTI showed that DPR-Occ maintains performance even with up to 90% label noise, significantly outperforming adapted baselines. AI

IMPACT This research could improve the reliability of robotic perception systems operating in real-world environments with imperfect data.

    Can we Trust Unreliable Voxels? Exploring 3D Semantic Occupancy Prediction under Label Noise

    arXiv:2603.06279v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: 3D semantic occupancy prediction is a cornerstone of robotic perception, yet real-world voxel annotations are inherently corrupted by structural artifacts and dynamic trailing effects. This raises a critical but underexplored qu…
