• Abstract: Understanding 4D point cloud sequences online is of significant practical value in various scenarios such as VR/AR, robotics, and autonomous driving. The key goal is to continuously analyze the geometry and dynamics of a 3D scene as unstructured and redundant point cloud sequences arrive. And the main challenge is to effectively model the long-term history while keeping computational costs manageable. To tackle these challenges, we introduce a generic online 4D perception paradigm called NSM4D. NSM4D serves as a plug-and-play strategy that can be adapted to existing 4D backbones, significantly enhancing their online perception capabilities for both indoor and outdoor scenarios. To efficiently capture the redundant 4D history, we propose a neural scene model that factorizes geometry and motion information by constructing geometry tokens separately storing geometry and motion features. Exploiting the history becomes as straightforward as querying the neural scene model. As the sequence progresses, the neural scene model dynamically deforms to align with new observations, effectively providing the historical context and updating itself with the new observations. By employing token representation, NSM4D also exhibits robustness to low-level sensor noise and maintains a compact size through a geometric sampling scheme. We integrate NSM4D with state-of-the-art 4D perception backbones, demonstrating significant improvements on various online perception benchmarks in indoor and outdoor settings. Notably, we achieve a 9.6% accuracy improvement for HOI4D online action segmentation and a 3.4% mIoU improvement for SemanticKITTI online semantic segmentation. Furthermore, we show that NSM4D inherently offers excellent scalability to longer sequences beyond the training set, which is crucial for real-world applications.
