Cooperative perception is challenging for safety-critical autonomous driving applications.The errors in the shared position and pose cause an inaccurate relative transform estimation and disrupt the robust mapping of the Ego vehicle. We propose a distributed object-level cooperative perception system called OptiMatch, in which the detected 3D bounding boxes and local state information are shared between the connected vehicles. To correct the noisy relative transform, the local measurements of both connected vehicles (bounding boxes) are utilized, and an optimal transport theory-based algorithm is developed to filter out those objects jointly detected by the vehicles along with their correspondence, constructing an associated co-visible set. A correction transform is estimated from the matched object pairs and further applied to the noisy relative transform, followed by global fusion and dynamic mapping. Experiment results show that robust performance is achieved for different levels of location and heading errors, and the proposed framework outperforms the state-of-the-art benchmark fusion schemes, including early, late, and intermediate fusion, on average precision by a large margin when location and/or heading errors occur.

In this paper, the l1 norm penalty on the filter coefficients is incorporated in the least mean absolute deviation (LAD) algorithm to improve the performance of the LAD algorithm. The performance of LAD, zero-attracting LAD (ZA-LAD) and reweighted zero-attracting LAD (RZA-LAD) are evaluated for linear time varying system identification under the non-Gaussian (alpha-stable) noise environments. Effectiveness of the ZA-LAD type algorithms is demonstrated through computer simulations.

End-to-end autonomous driving models often encounter performance bottlenecks, as training-time scaling leads to high computational costs and diminishing marginal returns. Existing planners typically adopt a one-shot generation paradigm, lacking secondary validation and active correction mechanisms to detect and revise suboptimal or unsafe trajectories during inference. To address this issue, we propose DriveVer, a lightweight, plug-and-play Test-Time Verifier that leverages the test-time scaling paradigm to enable autonomous driving systems to validate and refine trajectories without costly and heavy training. We construct a dedicated trajectory dataset based on the NAVSIM benchmark through condition-driven clustering and balanced sampling according to ego-vehicle states and navigation commands. Employing a dual-head architecture, DriveVer efficiently fuses candidate trajectories with multi-view visual representations and ego-vehicle kinematic features to simultaneously predict a safety confidence score and an absolute geometric refinement vector. Extensive experiments on the NAVSIM benchmark show that DriveVer significantly improves the performance of base planning models. Notably, as an extremely compact model with only 34M parameters, DriveVer introduces minimal computational overhead, achieving competitive results while maintaining real-time inference efficiency.

Cooperative perception extends the perception capabilities of autonomous vehicles by enabling multi-agent information sharing via Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication. Unlike traditional onboard sensors, V2X acts as a dynamic "information sensor" characterized by limited communication, heterogeneity, mobility, and scalability. This survey provides a comprehensive review of recent advancements from the perspective of information-centric cooperative perception, focusing on three key dimensions: information representation, information fusion, and large-scale deployment. We categorize information representation into data-level, feature-level, and object-level schemes, and highlight emerging methods for reducing data volume and compressing messages under communication constraints. In information fusion, we explore techniques under both ideal and non-ideal conditions, including those addressing heterogeneity, localization errors, latency, and packet loss. Finally, we summarize system-level approaches to support scalability in dense traffic scenarios. Compared with existing surveys, this paper introduces a new perspective by treating V2X communication as an information sensor and emphasizing the challenges of deploying cooperative perception in real-world intelligent transportation systems.
