Class-Distribution Guided Active Learning for 3D Occupancy Prediction in Autonomous Driving

ArXi:2603.27294v1 Announce Type: new 3D occupancy prediction provides dense spatial understanding critical for safe autonomous driving. However, this task suffers from a severe class imbalance due to its volumetric representation, where safety-critical objects (bicycles, traffic cones, pedestrians) occupy minimal voxels compared to dominant backgrounds. Additionally, voxel-level annotation is costly, yet dedicating effort to dominant classes is inefficient. To address these challenges, we propose a class-distribution guided active learning framework for selecting
