Xiaomi EV World Model: A Joint World Model Integrating Reconstruction and Generation for Autonomous Driving

This report presents a unified technical system addressing the two core capabilities of world models for autonomous driving: world representation and world generation. For world representation, we propose WorldRec, a feed-forward reconstruction architecture driven by sparse scene queries. WorldRec initializes structured queries in 3D space, leveraging them to aggregate cross-view, cross-temporal features, thereby naturally enforcing spatial consistency across frames and yielding compact yet high-fidelity 3D Gaussian scene representations. For world generation, we propose WorldGen, a two-stage training framework of bidirectional pretraining followed by causal fine-tuning through three progressive stages (Teacher Forcing, ODE distillation, and DMD), enabling high-quality online causal video generation in as few as 4 denoising steps. Building on both modules, we further introduce the JWM, which deeply integrates WorldRec and WorldGen to achieve synergistic gains in generation stability, cross-frame consistency, and visual fidelity, providing a solid foundation for closed-loop simulation, data synthesis, and end-to-end training in autonomous driving.

Benchmarking the Robustness of LiDAR-Camera Fusion for 3D Object Detection

There are two critical sensors for 3D perception in autonomous driving, the camera and the LiDAR. The camera provides rich semantic information such as color, texture, and the LiDAR reflects the 3D shape and locations of surrounding objects. People discover that fusing these two modalities can significantly boost the performance of 3D perception models as each modality has complementary information to the other. However, we observe that current datasets are captured from expensive vehicles that are explicitly designed for data collection purposes, and cannot truly reflect the realistic data distribution due to various reasons. To this end, we collect a series of real-world cases with noisy data distribution, and systematically formulate a robustness benchmark toolkit, that simulates these cases on any clean autonomous driving datasets. We showcase the effectiveness of our toolkit by establishing the robustness benchmark on two widely-adopted autonomous driving datasets, nuScenes and Waymo, then, to the best of our knowledge, holistically benchmark the state-of-the-art fusion methods for the first time. We observe that: i) most fusion methods, when solely developed on these data, tend to fail inevitably when there is a disruption to the LiDAR input; ii) the improvement of the camera input is significantly inferior to the LiDAR one. We further propose an efficient robust training strategy to improve the robustness of the current fusion method. The benchmark and code are available at https://github.com/kcyu2014/lidar-camera-robust-benchmark

Exploring Inter-Channel Correlation for Diversity-preserved KnowledgeDistillation

Knowledge Distillation has shown very promising abil-ity in transferring learned representation from the largermodel (teacher) to the smaller one (student).Despitemany efforts, prior methods ignore the important role ofretaining inter-channel correlation of features, leading tothe lack of capturing intrinsic distribution of the featurespace and sufficient diversity properties of features in theteacher network.To solve the issue, we propose thenovel Inter-Channel Correlation for Knowledge Distillation(ICKD), with which the diversity and homology of the fea-ture space of the student network can align with that ofthe teacher network. The correlation between these twochannels is interpreted as diversity if they are irrelevantto each other, otherwise homology. Then the student isrequired to mimic the correlation within its own embed-ding space. In addition, we introduce the grid-level inter-channel correlation, making it capable of dense predictiontasks. Extensive experiments on two vision tasks, includ-ing ImageNet classification and Pascal VOC segmentation,demonstrate the superiority of our ICKD, which consis-tently outperforms many existing methods, advancing thestate-of-the-art in the fields of Knowledge Distillation. Toour knowledge, we are the first method based on knowl-edge distillation boosts ResNet18 beyond 72% Top-1 ac-curacy on ImageNet classification.

Accelerating Neural Network Inference by Overflow Aware Quantization

The inherent heavy computation of deep neural networks prevents their widespread applications. A widely used method for accelerating model inference is quantization, by replacing the input operands of a network using fixed-point values. Then the majority of computation costs focus on the integer matrix multiplication accumulation. In fact, high-bit accumulator leads to partially wasted computation and low-bit one typically suffers from numerical overflow. To address this problem, we propose an overflow aware quantization method by designing trainable adaptive fixed-point representation, to optimize the number of bits for each input tensor while prohibiting numeric overflow during the computation. With the proposed method, we are able to fully utilize the computing power to minimize the quantization loss and obtain optimized inference performance. To verify the effectiveness of our method, we conduct image classification, object detection, and semantic segmentation tasks on ImageNet, Pascal VOC, and COCO datasets, respectively. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve comparable performance with state-of-the-art quantization methods while accelerating the inference process by about 2 times.

LE-HGR: A Lightweight and Efficient RGB-based Online Gesture Recognition Network for Embedded AR Devices

Online hand gesture recognition (HGR) techniques are essential in augmented reality (AR) applications for enabling natural human-to-computer interaction and communication. In recent years, the consumer market for low-cost AR devices has been rapidly growing, while the technology maturity in this domain is still limited. Those devices are typical of low prices, limited memory, and resource-constrained computational units, which makes online HGR a challenging problem. To tackle this problem, we propose a lightweight and computationally efficient HGR framework, namely LE-HGR, to enable real-time gesture recognition on embedded devices with low computing power. We also show that the proposed method is of high accuracy and robustness, which is able to reach high-end performance in a variety of complicated interaction environments. To achieve our goal, we first propose a cascaded multi-task convolutional neural network (CNN) to simultaneously predict probabilities of hand detection and regress hand keypoint locations online. We show that, with the proposed cascaded architecture design, false-positive estimates can be largely eliminated. Additionally, an associated mapping approach is introduced to track the hand trace via the predicted locations, which addresses the interference of multi-handedness. Subsequently, we propose a trace sequence neural network (TraceSeqNN) to recognize the hand gesture by exploiting the motion features of the tracked trace. Finally, we provide a variety of experimental results to show that the proposed framework is able to achieve state-of-the-art accuracy with significantly reduced computational cost, which are the key properties for enabling real-time applications in low-cost commercial devices such as mobile devices and AR/VR headsets.
