Enhanced Speed and Accuracy for Autonomous Driving

The FastOcc method is a game-changer in 3D occupancy prediction, essential for real-time autonomous vehicle applications. Its clever design speeds up inference without compromising performance, providing an optimal balance between quick decision-making and accurate environmental understanding. Noteworthy features include:

• Optimized Network Design: Comprehensive analysis of latency factors leading to significant speed improvements.
• Residual-like Architecture: A new take on processing 3D data, relying more heavily on 2D networks.
• Benchmark Success: Achieves state-of-the-art results on the Occ3D-nuScenes benchmark with impressive speed.
