Researchers have developed a new framework called WeatherOcc3D that uses Visual-Language Models (VLMs) to improve 3D semantic occupancy prediction in adverse weather conditions. The system leverages CLIP's latent space and weather-specific text embeddings to dynamically adjust the fusion of camera and LiDAR sensor data. This adaptive approach prioritizes camera features in clear daylight and LiDAR features during rainy nights, significantly outperforming traditional fusion methods on the nuScenes dataset. AI
