BodyBridge: Grounded Body Layers for Sim-to-Real Translation of Vulnerable Road Users
Mark Azer, Fabian B. Flohr
Simulation-to-real driving video diffusion models can translate photorealistic scenes, but they typically represent pedestrians and cyclists, vulnerable road users (VRUs), as gener…
From Laboratory to Road: Evaluating Wearable Gaze Accuracy for Driving
William Engel, Fabian Flohr
Bird's-eye-view (BEV) representations have become a widely used interface between perception and planning in autonomous driving, but they encode what is in a scene, not what is beh…
Speed in the Blind Spot: An Interpretability Analysis of Dynamic Perception in VLMs for Autonomous Driving
Katharina Winter, Stefan Englmeier, Fabian B. Flohr
Vision-Language Models are increasingly used in autonomous-driving systems, yet their ability to recover dynamic physical state from visual input remains insufficiently characteriz…
