New CLARITY framework enhances autonomous driving scene segmentation

Researchers have developed a new language-guided framework called CLARITY for RGB-Thermal fusion in autonomous driving scene segmentation. This method dynamically adapts its fusion strategy based on detected scene conditions, unlike previous static approaches. CLARITY leverages vision-language model priors to modulate the contribution of each modality and uses object embeddings for segmentation. It also includes mechanisms to preserve valid dark-object semantics and enforce structural consistency across scales, leading to state-of-the-art performance on the MFNet dataset. AI

    Seeing Roads Through Words: A Language-Guided Framework for RGB-T Driving Scene Segmentation

    arXiv:2602.07343v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Robust semantic segmentation of road scenes under adverse illumination, lighting, and shadow conditions remain a core challenge for autonomous driving applications. RGB-Thermal fusion is a standard approach, yet existing m…
