SCOUT: A Lightweight Framework for Scenario Coverage Assessment in Autonomous Driving

  • 用蒸馏学习法,从智能体感知特征直接预测场景覆盖率标签。
  • 在真实场景数据集上保持高精度,计算成本远低于现有方法。
  • 适合大规模自动驾驶系统测试与持续评估,提升效率与可扩展性。

评估场景覆盖率对衡量自动驾驶智能体的鲁棒性至关重要,但现有方法依赖昂贵的人工标注或计算量大的视觉语言大模型(LVLMs),难以大规模部署。为此,我们提出SCOUT(Scenario Coverage Oversight and Understanding Tool),一种轻量级代理模型,可直接从智能体的隐式传感器表征中预测场景覆盖率标签。该模型通过知识蒸馏训练,学习逼近LVLM生成的覆盖率标签,无需持续运行LVLM或人工标注。借助预计算的感知特征,SCOUT避免重复计算,实现快速、可扩展的场景覆盖率估计。我们在大规模真实自动驾驶导航场景数据集上进行评估,结果表明其在保持高准确性的同时显著降低计算开销。尽管性能依赖于LVLM生成训练标签的质量,但SCOUT为自动驾驶系统中的高效场景覆盖监督迈出了关键一步。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Assessing scenario coverage is crucial for evaluating the robustness of autonomous agents, yet existing methods rely on expensive human annotations or computationally intensive Large Vision-Language Models (LVLMs). These approaches are impractical for large-scale deployment due to cost and efficiency constraints. To address these shortcomings, we propose SCOUT (Scenario Coverage Oversight and Understanding Tool), a lightweight surrogate model designed to predict scenario coverage labels directly from an agent's latent sensor representations. SCOUT is trained through a distillation process, learning to approximate LVLM-generated coverage labels while eliminating the need for continuous LVLM inference or human annotation. By leveraging precomputed perception features, SCOUT avoids redundant computations and enables fast, scalable scenario coverage estimation. We evaluate our method across a large dataset of real-life autonomous navigation scenarios, demonstrating that it maintains high accuracy while significantly reducing computational cost. Our results show that SCOUT provides an effective and practical alternative for large-scale coverage analysis. While its performance depends on the quality of LVLM-generated training labels, SCOUT represents a major step toward efficient scenario coverage oversight in autonomous systems.
