Attention is Case-Sensitive
Maximilian Dillitzer, Tin Stribor Sohn, Jason J. Corso +1
In human visual perception, uppercase lettering serves as a natural salience cue that captures attention within lowercase text. In this paper, we present a systematic empirical cha…
Understanding Cross-Rig Generalization in Automotive Perception: a Multi-Rig Benchmark and Rig Variation Metrics
Tim Alexander Bader, Tim Dieter Eberhardt, Maximilian Dillitzer +1
Camera-based perception systems for autonomous driving are typically developed and evaluated using fixed sensor rigs, while real-world vehicle fleets exhibit substantial variation…
Embodied4C: Measuring What Matters for Embodied Vision-Language Navigation
Tin Stribor Sohn, Maximilian Dillitzer, Jason J. Corso +1
Vision-language navigation requires agents to reason and act under constraints of embodiment. While vision-language models (VLMs) demonstrate strong generalization, current benchma…
SNOW: Spatio-Temporal Scene Understanding with World Knowledge for Open-World Embodied Reasoning
Tin Stribor Sohn, Maximilian Dillitzer, Jason J. Corso +1
Autonomous robotic systems require spatio-temporal understanding of dynamic environments to ensure reliable navigation and interaction. While Vision-Language Models (VLMs) provide…
R4: Retrieval-Augmented Reasoning for Vision-Language Models in 4D Spatio-Temporal Space
Tin Stribor Sohn, Maximilian Dillitzer, Jason J. Corso +1
Humans perceive and reason about their surroundings in four dimensions by building persistent, structured internal representations that encode semantic meaning, spatial layout, and…
A Framework for a Capability-driven Evaluation of Scenario Understanding for Multimodal Large Language Models in Autonomous Driving
Tin Stribor Sohn, Philipp Reis, Maximilian Dillitzer +3
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) hold the potential to enhance autonomous driving by combining domain-independent world knowledge with context-specific language guidance. T…
