CoDS: Collaborative Perception via Digital Semantic Communication
- 设计语义压缩编解码器,提取任务相关特征并保持感知精度
- 构建模拟到数字的语义转换器,支持现有数字通信系统
- 引入不确定性感知网络,提升低信噪比下的感知鲁棒性
语义通信被引入自动驾驶协同感知系统,有望提升数据传输效率与鲁棒性。然而,现有方法多依赖模拟传输模型,与现代车联网(V2X)的数字架构不兼容,阻碍实际部署。为此,我们提出基于数字语义通信的CoDS框架,实现语义级传输效率与实用数字系统的融合。首先,设计语义压缩编解码器,提取并压缩面向任务的语义特征,同时保持下游感知精度。其次,提出新型语义模数转换器,将连续语义特征转为离散比特流,确保与现有数字通信管道兼容。此外,开发不确定性感知网络(UAN),评估接收特征可靠性,剔除解码失败导致的受损特征,缓解传统信道编码在低信噪比下的悬崖效应。大量实验表明,CoDS显著优于现有语义通信与传统数字通信方案,在保持与实际数字V2X系统兼容的同时,实现领先感知性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Semantic communication has been introduced into collaborative perception systems for autonomous driving, offering a promising approach to enhancing data transmission efficiency and robustness. Despite its potential, existing semantic communication approaches predominantly rely on analog transmission models, rendering these systems fundamentally incompatible with the digital architecture of modern vehicle-to-everything (V2X) networks and posing a significant barrier to real-world deployment. To bridge this critical gap, we propose CoDS, a novel collaborative perception framework based on digital semantic communication, designed to realize semantic-level transmission efficiency within practical digital communication systems. Specifically, we develop a semantic compression codec that extracts and compresses task-oriented semantic features while preserving downstream perception accuracy. Building on this, we propose a novel semantic analog-to-digital converter that converts these continuous semantic features into a discrete bitstream, ensuring integration with existing digital communication pipelines. Furthermore, we develop an uncertainty-aware network (UAN) that assesses the reliability of each received feature and discards those corrupted by decoding failures, thereby mitigating the cliff effect of conventional channel coding schemes under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. Extensive experiments demonstrate that CoDS significantly outperforms existing semantic communication and traditional digital communication schemes, achieving state-of-the-art perception performance while ensuring compatibility with practical digital V2X systems.
