SimBEV2X: A Large-Scale Dataset and Data Generation Tool for Multi-Task Vehicle-to-Everything Cooperative Perception

Authors: Goodarz Mehr, Sepideh Gohari, Montasir Abbas, Azim Eskandarian

Abstract

Cooperative perception through vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication can overcome the inherent physical limitations of individual autonomous vehicles, such as occlusions and limited sensor range. However, the development of robust V2X algorithms, particularly those relying on unified spatial representations like bird's-eye view (BEV) representation, is hampered by the lack of large-scale, multi-modal, multi-task datasets. Moreover, collecting and annotating a large set of synchronized, real-world multi-agent data is prohibitively expensive. This has resulted in a landscape where existing V2X datasets are notably limited in both size and scope. To overcome this, we introduce SimBEV2X, an advanced synthetic data generation tool built on the CARLA simulator. SimBEV2X automatically creates randomized driving scenarios to collect multi-modal sensor data alongside various types of ground truth including 3D bounding boxes with unique track IDs, HD map information, BEV segmentation maps, and semantic occupancy voxel grids from both vehicles and RSUs. We also present the SimBEV2X dataset, the largest V2X perception dataset to date. The dataset comprises 258 scenes, each involving up to 8 connected vehicles and up to 4 RSUs across a variety of road networks. The SimBEV2X dataset is an order of magnitude larger than existing V2X datasets and contains 102,200 frames, 588,520 lidar point clouds, more than 3 million images, over 27 million bounding boxes, and a comprehensive set of other annotations. Finally, we establish a strong baseline on the SimBEV2X dataset using CoopDet3D and propose CoBEVFusion, a novel architecture that combines CoopDet3D with fused axial attention (FAX) for context-aware multi-agent feature aggregation, resulting in superior performance. SimBEV2X, the SimBEV2X dataset, and CoBEVFusion are available at https://simbev2x.org and https://github.com/GoodarzMehr/SimBEV2X.

CooperScene: Multi-Modal Cooperative Autonomy Benchmark with C-V2X Communication Characterization

Cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) enables cooperative perception, prediction, and planning beyond the field of view of individual agents. However, existing datasets often overlook the complexities of real-world deployment, such as limited communication bandwidth and its dynamics, heterogeneous sensing modalities, and scalability beyond a single cooperative partner. In this paper, we introduce CooperScene, a high-fidelity cooperative autonomy dataset with real-world C-V2X communication characterization. The dataset is organized into diverse scenes, including intersections, highway ramps, and parking lots. These scenes involve three connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs) and one infrastructure roadside unit (RSU), all equipped with multi-modal sensors and commercial off-the-shelf C-V2X communication radios. All scenes are annotated with globally consistent 3D labels at 10 Hz, totaling 344K objects across 59K frames, underpinned by tight sensor- and agent-synchronization, centimeter-level localization and spatial alignment, precise cross-modality calibration, and 3GPP-standard-compliant C-V2X communication. CooperScene establishes a rigorous benchmark for evaluating multi-agent scaling and actual performance in real-world deployable settings.

OmniV2X: A Generative Foundation Planner for Efficient End-to-End Cooperative Driving

We present OmniV2X, a generative foundation model for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) cooperative driving. The model directly interprets independent context sequences comprising multi-modal and multi-agent observations. The new design mitigates the computational cost of dense 3D perception, the vulnerability to data scarcity in cooperative scenarios, and the poor compliance with standardized messaging in existing methods that fuse multi-modal inputs into a shared representation. For training, we present an end-to-end supervised pipeline using a downstream trajectory generation loss, in which a high-capacity generative sequence planner implicitly learns to steer the model and leverage multi-modal inputs via cross-attention injection. As a foundation model, we demonstrate that OmniV2X pre-trained on large-scale single-agent planning datasets can efficiently adapt to cooperative environments by integrating the conditioning context with lightweight, standard-compliant V2X tokens. Evaluated on the DAIR-V2X-Seq dataset, OmniV2X outperforms existing end-to-end cooperative driving baselines, achieving state-of-the-art performance with less than 10% of the fine-tune V2X dataset and less than 1% of the communication bandwidth. We conduct comprehensive evaluations to demonstrate its computational efficiency and robustness under real-world constraints.

Hyper-V2X: Hypernetworks for Estimating Epistemic and Aleatoric Uncertainty in Cooperative Bird's-Eye-View Semantic Segmentation

Cooperative perception enabled by Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication enhances autonomous driving safety by creating a unified environmental representation through shared sensory data. While recent works have advanced multi-agent fusion for improved perception, uncertainty quantification in such cooperative frameworks remains largely unexplored. This paper introduces Hyper-V2X, a hypernetwork-based framework for estimating both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties in V2X-based perception. Specifically, we propose a partial weight generation scheme and V2X context embedding module that conditions a Bayesian hypernetwork on fused multi-agent features to generate weight distributions for stochastic Bird's-Eye-View (BEV) segmentation. Unlike existing deterministic BEV models, Hyper-V2X enables efficient uncertainty estimation with little computation overhead. Our approach is architecture-agnostic, and can be seamlessly integrating with modern cooperative backbones such as CoBEVT. Experiments on the OPV2V benchmark demonstrate that Hyper-V2X provides accurate, well-calibrated uncertainty estimates and improves overall perception reliability.
