Abstract
Conventional visual navigation methods presume scene stability and encounter challenges due to moving objects in highly dynamic environments. We propose DynaNav-SVO, a stereo visual odometry (VO) framework, which semantically detects and constructs a region-of-interest (ROI) by focusing on a-priori urban fixed elements for reliable feature extraction and subsequently estimates vehicle pose. The outcome is a static map with minimal outliers and is used for state estimation in dynamic scenes and perceptually degraded conditions. This map enhances computational efficiency due to the reduced size of the new static mask (as confirmed in several experiments), compared to the existing visual simultaneous localization and mapping (vSLAM) solutions. To refine the estimated pose, a back-end module selects a moving horizon of frames, generates a covisibility graph for data association, and optimizes a structure-from-motion program using local bundle adjustment. Finally, the performance of the framework is experimentally evaluated using a test vehicle in highly-dynamic urban settings and under adverse weather conditions with degraded visual perception with varying sequence lengths. The experiments confirm excellent performance in terms of estimation accuracy and computational efficiency for autonomous navigation compared to existing vSLAM methods.

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
