• Abstract: High-definition 3D LiDAR maps are important for autonomous driving and smart-city services, which require reliable detection of object-level changes in multi-temporal urban LiDAR to keep digital maps aligned with the physical world. Existing approaches from raster height differencing to depth image and point-cloud networks often remain tile-based and threshold-driven, yielding per-point scores without explicit detection limits or consistent object-level labels. We propose an object-level 3D change-detection pipeline that integrates detection-limit-aware registration, geometry-driven object proxies with rule-based semantic and instance segmentation, and displacement cues in height, volume, and surface-normal direction to assign five change labels with confidence. By decoupling registration, geometry, and semantics, the pipeline propagates pose uncertainty into spatially varying detection limits, stabilizes cross-epoch correspondences, and suppresses false changes caused by residual misalignment and density variation. We also present LoDA, a level-of-detection (LoD) aware benchmark for the Subiaco district with fused multi-temporal vehicle-LiDAR maps constructed with LiDAR, GNSS, and IMU support, semantic instances, and object-level annotations. On this benchmark, our method achieves 95.0% accuracy, 90.8% macro F1, and 83.0% macro IoU, exceeding the best baseline by 8.7 IoU points and 4.4 F1 points. On the public Urb3DCD-V2 benchmark evaluated under the official point-wise protocol, it reaches 96.81% mean accuracy and 89.52% mean change IoU, improving over the strongest reported baselines by 1.36 points in mAcc and 3.18 points in mIoUch.

  In this paper, we formulate the label uncertainty problem as the diversity of potentially plausible bounding boxes of objects. We propose GLENet, a generative framework adapted from conditional variational autoencoders, to model the one-to-many relationship between a typical 3D object and its potential ground-truth bounding boxes with latent variables. The label uncertainty generated by GLENet is a plug-and-play module and can be conveniently integrated into existing deep 3D detectors.
