Abstract
Large-scale Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) point clouds provide basic 3D information support for Augmented Reality (AR) in outdoor environments. Especially, matching 2D images across to 3D LiDAR point clouds can establish the spatial relationship of 2D and 3D space, which is a solution for the virtual-real registration of AR. This paper first provides a precise 2D-3D patch-volume dataset, which contains paired matching 2D image patches and 3D LiDAR point cloud volumes, by using the Mobile Laser Scanning (MLS) data from the urban scene. Second, we propose an end-to-end network, Siam2D3D-Net, to jointly learn local feature representations for 2D image patches and 3D LiDAR point cloud volumes. Experimental results indicate the proposed Siam2D3D-Net can match and establish 2D-3D correspondences from the query 2D image to the 3D LiDAR point cloud reference map. Finally, an application is used to evaluate the possibility of the proposed virtual-real registration of AR in outdoor environments.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
