LidarPainter: One-Step Away From Any Lidar View To Novel Guidance

The recent publication of 'LidarPainter: One-Step Away From Any Lidar View To Novel Guidance' marks a significant advancement in dynamic driving scene reconstruction, a key area for digital twin systems and autonomous driving simulations. Traditional methods often suffer from issues like inconsistency and high resource consumption, which LidarPainter effectively overcomes. By utilizing a one-step diffusion model, it recovers consistent driving views from sparse LiDAR conditions and artifact-corrupted renderings in real-time. This innovation not only enhances the quality of reconstructions but also operates at a remarkable speed, being seven times faster than the previous leading model, StreetCrafter, while requiring only one-fifth of the GPU memory. Furthermore, LidarPainter supports stylized generation through text prompts, expanding the creative possibilities for driving simulations. This development is crucial for the future of autonomous driving technology, as it enables more reali…
