Cooperative perception lets agents share information to expand coverage and improve scene understanding. However, in real-world scenarios, diverse and unpredictable corruptions undermine its robustness and generalization. To address these challenges, we introduce CoopDiff, a diffusion-based cooperative perception framework that mitigates corruptions via a denoising mechanism. CoopDiff adopts a teacher-student paradigm: the Quality-Aware Teacher performs voxel-level early fusion with Quality of Interest weighting and semantic guidance, then produces clean supervision features via a diffusion denoiser. The Dual-Branch Diffusion Student first separates ego and cooperative streams in encoding to reconstruct the teacher's clean targets. And then, an Ego-Guided Cross-Attention mechanism facilitates balanced decoding under degradation by adaptively integrating ego and cooperative features. We evaluate CoopDiff on two constructed multi-degradation benchmarks, OPV2Vn and DAIR-V2Xn, each incorporating six corruption types, including environmental and sensor-level distortions. Benefiting from the inherent denoising properties of diffusion, CoopDiff consistently outperforms prior methods across all degradation types and lowers the relative corruption error. Furthermore, it offers a tunable balance between precision and inference efficiency.

Cooperative perception significantly enhances scene understanding by integrating complementary information from diverse agents. However, existing research often overlooks critical challenges inherent in real-world multi-source data integration, specifically high temporal latency and multi-source noise. To address these practical limitations, we propose Collaborative Alignment and Transformation Network (CATNet), an adaptive compensation framework that resolves temporal latency and noise interference in multi-agent systems. Our key innovations can be summarized in three aspects. First, we introduce a Spatio-Temporal Recurrent Synchronization (STSync) that aligns asynchronous feature streams via adjacent-frame differential modeling, establishing a temporal-spatially unified representation space. Second, we design a Dual-Branch Wavelet Enhanced Denoiser (WTDen) that suppresses global noise and reconstructs localized feature distortions within aligned representations. Third, we construct an Adaptive Feature Selector (AdpSel) that dynamically focuses on critical perceptual features for robust fusion. Extensive experiments on multiple datasets demonstrate that CATNet consistently outperforms existing methods under complex traffic conditions, proving its superior robustness and adaptability.
