Sensor2Sensor: Cross-Embodiment Sensor Conversion for Autonomous Driving

Hugging Face Daily Papers Papers

Summary

Sensor2Sensor uses diffusion models and 4D Gaussian Splatting to convert in-the-wild dashcam videos into multimodal autonomous vehicle logs (multi-view camera and LiDAR) for training and validation of autonomous driving systems.

Robust training and validation of Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS) require massive, diverse datasets. Proprietary data collected by Autonomous Vehicle (AV) fleets, while high-fidelity, are limited in scale, diversity of sensor configurations, as well as geographic and long-tail-behavioral coverage. In contrast, in-the-wild data from sources like dashcams offers immense scale and diversity, capturing critical long-tail scenarios and novel environments. However, this unstructured, in-the-wild video data is incompatible with ADS expecting structured, multi-modal sensor inputs for validation and training. To bridge this data gap, we propose Sensor2Sensor, a novel generative modeling paradigm that translates in-the-wild monocular dashcam videos into a high-fidelity, multi-modal sensor suite (AV logs) comprising multi-view camera images and LiDAR point clouds. A core challenge is the lack of paired training data. We address this by converting real AV logs into dashcam-style videos via 4D Gaussian Splatting (4DGS) reconstruction and novel-view rendering. Sensor2Sensor then utilizes a diffusion architecture to perform the generative conversion. We perform comprehensive quantitative evaluations on the fidelity and realism of the generated sensor data. We demonstrate Sensor2Sensor's practical utility by converting challenging in-the-wild internet and dashcam footage into realistic, multi-modal data formats, further unlocking vast external data sources for AV development.

Abstract

Sensor2Sensor generates high-fidelity multi-modal sensor data from in-the-wild dashcam videos using diffusion models and 4D Gaussian Splatting for autonomous driving system training and validation.

Robust training and validation ofAutonomous Driving Systems(ADS) require massive, diverse datasets. Proprietary data collected by Autonomous Vehicle (AV) fleets, while high-fidelity, are limited in scale, diversity of sensor configurations, as well as geographic and long-tail-behavioral coverage. In contrast, in-the-wild data from sources like dashcams offers immense scale and diversity, capturing critical long-tail scenarios and novel environments. However, this unstructured,in-the-wild video datais incompatible with ADS expecting structured, multi-modal sensor inputs for validation and training. To bridge this data gap, we propose Sensor2Sensor, a novelgenerative modelingparadigm that translates in-the-wild monocular dashcam videos into a high-fidelity,multi-modal sensor suite(AV logs) comprisingmulti-view camera imagesandLiDAR point clouds. A core challenge is the lack of paired training data. We address this by converting real AV logs into dashcam-style videos via4D Gaussian Splatting(4DGS) reconstruction and novel-view rendering. Sensor2Sensor then utilizes adiffusion architectureto perform the generative conversion. We perform comprehensive quantitative evaluations on the fidelity and realism of the generated sensor data. We demonstrate Sensor2Sensor’s practical utility by converting challenging in-the-wild internet and dashcam footage into realistic, multi-modal data formats, further unlocking vast external data sources for AV development.
