LOD-Net: Locality-Aware 3D Object Detection Using Multi-Scale Transformer Network
Bibliographic record
Abstract
3D object detection in point cloud data remains a challenging task due to the sparsity and lack of global structure inherent in the input. In this work, we propose a novel MultiScale Attention (MSA) mechanism integrated into the 3DETR architecture to better capture both local geometry and global context. Our method introduces an upsampling operation that generates high-resolution feature maps, enabling the network to better detect smaller and semantically related objects. Experiments conducted on the ScanNetv2 dataset demonstrate that our 3DETR + MSA model improves detection performance, achieving a gain of almost 1% in mAP@25 and 4.78% in mAP@50 over the baseline. While applying MSA to the 3DETR-m variant shows limited improvement, our analysis reveals the importance of adapting the upsampling strategy for lightweight models. These results highlight the effectiveness of combining hierarchical feature extraction with attention mechanisms in enhancing 3D scene understanding.

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
