Key Points

  • RESBev is a new robust bird's-eye-view (BEV) perception method designed to improve the reliability of autonomous driving systems against sensor degradation and adversarial attacks.
  • The approach treats robustness as a latent semantic prediction problem, constructing a latent world model to capture spatiotemporal correlations and predict clean BEV features from corrupted observations.
  • RESBev integrates at the semantic feature level within the Lift-Splat-Shoot pipeline, allowing it to be plug-and-play without modifying existing BEV perception backbones.
  • Experiments on the nuScenes dataset show that RESBev, with minimal fine-tuning, significantly enhances the robustness of BEV perception models under various natural and adversarial disturbances.
  • This advancement is critical for improving the safety and reliability of autonomous driving systems facing real-world operational challenges.

Abstract:Bird's-eye-view (BEV) perception has emerged as a cornerstone of autonomous driving systems, providing a structured, ego-centric representation critical for downstream planning and control. However, real-world deployment faces challenges from sensor degradation and adversarial attacks, which can cause severe perceptual anomalies and ultimately compromise the safety of autonomous driving systems. To address this, we propose a resilient and plug-and-play BEV perception method, RESBev, which can be easily applied to existing BEV perception methods to enhance their robustness to diverse disturbances. Specifically, we reframe perception robustness as a latent semantic prediction problem. A latent world model is constructed to extract spatiotemporal correlations across sequential BEV observations, thereby learning the underlying BEV state transitions to predict clean BEV features for reconstructing corrupted observations. The proposed framework operates at the semantic feature level of the Lift-Splat-Shoot pipeline, enabling recovery that generalizes across both natural disturbances and adversarial attacks without modifying the underlying backbone. Extensive experiments on the nuScenes dataset demonstrate that, with few-shot fine-tuning, RESBev significantly improves the robustness of existing BEV perception models against various external disturbances and adversarial attacks.
