3DSceneEditor: Controllable 3D Scene Editing with Gaussian Splatting

The creation of 3D scenes has traditionally been both labor-intensive and costly, requiring designers to meticulously configure 3D assets and environments. Recent advancements in generative AI, including text-to-3D and image-to-3D methods, have dramatically reduced the complexity and cost of this process. However, current techniques for editing complex 3D scenes continue to rely on generally interactive multi-step, 2D-to-3D projection methods and diffusion-based techniques, which often lack precision in control and hamper real-time performance. In this work, we propose 3DSceneEditor, a fully 3D-based paradigm for real-time, precise editing of intricate 3D scenes using Gaussian Splatting. Unlike conventional methods, 3DSceneEditor operates through a streamlined 3D pipeline, enabling direct manipulation of Gaussians for efficient, high-quality edits based on input prompts.The proposed framework (i) integrates a pre-trained instance segmentation model for semantic labeling; (ii) employs a zero-shot grounding approach with CLIP to align target objects with user prompts; and (iii) applies scene modifications, such as object addition, repositioning, recoloring, replacing, and deletion directly on Gaussians. Extensive experimental results show that 3DSceneEditor achieves superior editing precision and speed with respect to current SOTA 3D scene editing approaches, establishing a new benchmark for efficient and interactive 3D scene customization.

GWQ: Gradient-Aware Weight Quantization for Large Language Models

Large language models (LLMs) show impressive performance in solving complex languagetasks. However, its large number of parameterspresent significant challenges for the deployment and application of the model on edge devices. Compressing large language models to low bits can enable them to run on resource-constrained devices, often leading to performance degradation. To address this problem, we propose gradient-aware weight quantization (GWQ), the first quantization approach for low-bit weight quantization that leverages gradients to localize outliers, requiring only a minimal amount of calibration data for outlier detection. GWQ retains the weights corresponding to the top 1% outliers preferentially at FP16 precision, while the remaining non-outlier weights are stored in a low-bit format. GWQ found experimentally that utilizing the sensitive weights in the gradient localization model is more scientific compared to utilizing the sensitive weights in the Hessian matrix localization model. Compared to current quantization methods, GWQ can be applied to multiple language models and achieves lower PPL on the WikiText2 and C4 dataset. In the zero-shot task, GWQ quantized models have higher accuracy compared to other quantization methods.GWQ is also suitable for multimodal model quantization, and the quantized Qwen-VL family model is more accurate than other methods. zero-shot target detection task dataset RefCOCO outperforms the current stat-of-the-arts method SPQR. GWQ achieves 1.2x inference speedup in comparison to the original model, and effectively reduces the inference memory.

RenderWorld: World Model with Self-Supervised 3D Label

End-to-end autonomous driving with vision-only is not only more cost-effective compared to LiDAR-vision fusion but also more reliable than traditional methods. To achieve a economical and robust purely visual autonomous driving system, we propose RenderWorld, a vision-only end-to-end autonomous driving framework, which generates 3D occupancy labels using a self-supervised gaussian-based Img2Occ Module, then encodes the labels by AM-VAE, and uses world model for forecasting and planning. RenderWorld employs Gaussian Splatting to represent 3D scenes and render 2D images greatly improves segmentation accuracy and reduces GPU memory consumption compared with NeRF-based methods. By applying AM-VAE to encode air and non-air separately, RenderWorld achieves more fine-grained scene element representation, leading to state-of-the-art performance in both 4D occupancy forecasting and motion planning from autoregressive world model.

AccidentBlip2: Accident Detection With Multi-View MotionBlip2

Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown outstanding capabilities in many areas of multimodal reasoning. Therefore, we use the reasoning ability of Multimodal Large Language Models for environment description and scene understanding in complex transportation environments. In this paper, we propose AccidentBlip2, a multimodal large language model that can predict in real time whether an accident risk will occur. Our approach involves feature extraction based on the temporal scene of the six-view surround view graphs and temporal inference using the temporal blip framework through the vision transformer. We then input the generated temporal token into the MLLMs for inference to determine whether an accident will occur or not. Since AccidentBlip2 does not rely on any BEV images and LiDAR, the number of inference parameters and the inference cost of MLLMs can be significantly reduced, and it also does not incur a large training overhead during training. AccidentBlip2 outperforms existing solutions on the DeepAccident dataset and can also provide a reference solution for end-to-end automated driving accident prediction.
