We propose MonoMIP, a dual-decoder framework that adds complementary 3D geometric reasoning through Bird's-Eye View (BEV) features constructed via Multi-Height Inverse Perspective Mapping. We perform IPM at K elevation planes spanning ground to rooftop, producing an ordered stack of height-conditioned metric BEV features that reduces above-ground misprojection and exposes depth-dependent appearance variation across planes. A BEV decoder with multi-scale deformable attention aggregates this multi-height evidence per query, while a depth-guided 3D decoder provides complementary perspective-space predictions. Without extra training data, MonoMIP attains 25.84% Moderate AP3D|R40 on KITTI val and 21.66% on the official test set for Car, outperforming recent published monocular methods on both the KITTI and Waymo benchmarks.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/monomip-multi-height-inverse-perspective-mapping-for-monocular-3d-object", "canonical_source": "https://arxiv.org/abs/2610.19071", "published_at": "2026-10-15 04:00:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-15 05:55:59.512383+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["computer-vision", "autonomous-vehicles", "artificial-intelligence", "machine-learning"], "entities": ["MonoMIP", "KITTI", "Waymo", "arXiv"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/monomip-multi-height-inverse-perspective-mapping-for-monocular-3d-object", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/monomip-multi-height-inverse-perspective-mapping-for-monocular-3d-object.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/monomip-multi-height-inverse-perspective-mapping-for-monocular-3d-object.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/monomip-multi-height-inverse-perspective-mapping-for-monocular-3d-object.jsonld"}}
