Competition Rules

--Competition Schedule--

Deadline for submission: October 25, 2025

--Task Description--

This challenge focuses on key technologies such as multi-source sensing data processing, information fusion, and collaborative perception across vehicles, infrastructure, and aerial platforms. The main goals are to address issues of spatio-temporal alignment and calibration of multi-agent perception data, precise fusion of heterogeneous sensors, and cross-view spatial relationship modelling of detected targets.

Participants are required to consider the complex and highly dynamic nature of the physical world, as well as the heterogeneity of multi-agent data. Using the provided vehicle-infrastructure-air (VIA) collaborative perception dataset, teams should design models capable of adapting to various conditions (e.g., lighting, weather, viewing angles). They must train and validate their models using the supplied aerial–ground cooperative perception dataset and submit the testing code and documentation accordingly.

The expected submissions should demonstrate algorithmic innovation, high perception accuracy, and robust cross-view alignment, thereby advancing research and applications in the field of vehicle–infrastructure–aerial collaborative perception.

--Problem Modelling--

Input: Vehicle-mounted LiDAR point clouds, roadside LiDAR point clouds, and scene target annotation files.
Output: Target categories and poses within the scene.

--Other Rules--

(1) Originality: Entries must be original and comply with all relevant laws of the People’s Republic of China. They must not infringe on any third-party intellectual property or other rights. Once plagiarism or rights violations are verified, the organizing committee will disqualify the team and revoke the results. The same work may not be submitted for multiple tasks—any repetition will be deemed invalid.

(2) Fair Competition: Participants are prohibited from exploiting rules or technical loopholes to gain unfair advantages, from copying others’ work, exchanging answers, or using multiple accounts. Any such misconduct will result in disqualification and disciplinary action.

(3) Organizer’s Statement: The organizing committee reserves the right to modify the competition rules, determine and handle cases of cheating, and withdraw or withhold awards from teams whose behavior compromises fairness or organizational integrity.

(4)  Intellectual Property: The intellectual property of all submitted works (including but not limited to algorithms, models, and solutions) shall be jointly owned by the participants and the organizing committee. The committee reserves the right to use the submissions, competition information, and team details in promotional materials, publications, authorized media releases, official website displays and downloads, exhibitions, or roadshows. The committee also retains priority rights for investment facilitation and product incubation based on submitted works.

(5)  Platform Security: Any attacks on the competition platform will result in immediate disqualification and forfeiture of awards. The committee reserves the right to pursue legal responsibility for such actions.

(6)  Special Rules: Participants must submit two algorithms separately—one based on camera data and one based on LiDAR point cloud data—via the designated submission links. Any use of mixed or additional modalities at the input stage will result in disqualification once detected. The final score is calculated by weighting the camera method score and the LiDAR method score at a ratio of 60%:40%.
