Towards Evolvable and Sustainable Multimodal 3D Vision

The project aims to deliver three key outcomes:

1. Development of a multimodal 3D vision system, employing cross-modality fusion to enhance precision in object detection and environmental interpretation.
2. Integration of advanced out-of-distribution (OOD) detection techniques to bolster the robustness of the 3D detectors, ensuring reliable performance in diverse and unpredictable scenarios.
3. Extensive validation across various datasets, incorporating perturbations and distribution shifts, to rigorously test and confirm the system's efficacy and adaptability in real-world conditions.
