Abstract

We present NordFKB, a fine-grained benchmark dataset for geospatial AI in Norway, derived from the authoritative, highly accurate, national Felles KartdataBase (FKB). The dataset contains high-resolution orthophotos paired with detailed annotations for 36 semantic classes, including both per-class binary segmentation masks in GeoTIFF format and COCO-style bounding box annotations. Data is collected from seven geographically diverse areas, ensuring variation in climate, topography, and urbanization. Only tiles containing at least one annotated object are included, and training/validation splits are created through random sampling across areas to ensure representative class and context distributions. Human expert review and quality control ensures high annotation accuracy. Alongside the dataset, we release a benchmarking repository with standardized evaluation protocols and tools for semantic segmentation and object detection, enabling reproducible and comparable research. NordFKB provides a robust foundation for advancing AI methods in mapping, land administration, and spatial planning, and paves the way for future expansions in coverage, temporal scope, and data modalities.

PanoSeg3R: Feed-Forward 3D Semantic Segmentation for Panoramic Images with an Automatic Data Curation Pipeline

We present PanoSeg3R, a feed-forward framework for 3D panoramic semantic segmentation. Unlike existing methods designed for perspective inputs, PanoSeg3R jointly predicts 3D geometry and multi-view semantic segmentation in one single forward pass. Built upon a pretrained reconstruction backbone that supports panoramic images, our approach extends feed-forward 3D reconstruction with a query-based mask decoder. Furthermore, we introduce an automatic panorama data curation pipeline that leverages the complementary strengths of off-the-shelf foundation models to generate reliable pseudo semantic annotations, substantially expanding the training data and improving zero-shot generalization. PanoSeg3R achieves state-of-the-art performance on panoramic 3D semantic segmentation, improving 3D mIoU by up to 16.02 on ScanNet++, while the curated training data further improves zero-shot performance by up to 4.26 and 43.28 mIoU on Stanford2D3D and ToF-360, respectively.

Vision2CAD: A Visual Agent Harness for Explicit Geometry Referencing and Localization in Parametric CAD Modeling

Generating parametric CAD models requires accurate geometry and stable feature dependencies. Existing methods face challenges in selecting geometric references, interpreting sketch-plane local coordinates, and establishing sketch constraints to projected external geometry. We present Vision2CAD, a visual agent harness that combines vision-language model (VLM) reasoning with deterministic CAD kernel operations. An ID-based interface supports explicit geometry selection, a local-coordinate bridge converts view coordinates into sketch coordinates, and projected-edge localization supports external sketch constraints. These mechanisms establish feature dependencies within the supported modeling operations and constraint types. We also introduce the Geometry Explicit Reference Dataset (GERD), which aligned commands, geometry states and IDs at every modeling step. On GERD-EVL and a DeepCAD test subset, Vision2CAD improves mIoU by 11.1\% and 5.6\% and reduces Chamfer distance by 17.3\% and 41.8\%, respectively. Parameter-editing experiments and ablation studies further proved the preservation of parametric dependencies.

DOA-SORT: Directional Occlusion-Aware Multi-Object Tracking with Distributional Observations

Identity association in multi-object tracking (MOT) is vulnerable to partial occlusion, truncated detections, and fluctuating confidence scores. Existing motion-dominant trackers commonly represent occlusion as a scalar penalty. This treatment misses the directional observation bias caused by occlusion: left, right, top, and bottom occlusions distort the location and shape of a detection in different ways. We propose \ours{} (Directional Occlusion-Aware SORT), an online and training-free tracker that models these biases explicitly. First, it infers a soft front--back ordering from box overlap and relative bottom positions, and estimates directional occlusion coverage and depth. It then constructs a mixture of one clean and four directional occlusion observation components. The model uses a five-dimensional observation comprising box center, area, confidence, and aspect ratio, and adapts observation noise to predicted occlusion and detection confidence. The directional mixture likelihood is used in high-confidence association, low-confidence association, and track recovery; ambiguity penalties and local order-consistency swaps further reduce identity errors among nearby objects. On the DanceTrack validation split, \ours{} improves HOTA from 63.00 to 66.34, AssA from 45.10 to 49.57, and IDF1 from 62.19 to 65.28 over OA-SORT with the same detector and evaluation protocol. The gains are concentrated in association quality while detection accuracy remains stable. Additional local evaluations on MOT17 and MOT20 train splits characterize cross-dataset behavior under the same no-ReID tracking protocol.
