HyDRA: Hybrid Domain-Aware Robust Architecture for Heterogeneous Collaborative Perception

原文摘要
Collaborative perception assumes that participating agents share compatible feature representations, yet this assumption often fails in practice. Beyond explicit differences in backbone architecture or sensor modality, independently trained models can exhibit latent domain shifts and cause naive feature fusion to contaminate rather than complement each agent's representation. To address this, we propose HyDRA (Hybrid Domain-Aware Robust Architecture), a training-free framework that uses a lightweight domain classifier to identify whether each agent shares a compatible feature domain, and adaptively select the fusion strategy. Homogeneous agents are combined through intermediate fusion to maximize information gain, whereas heterogeneous agents are routed to late fusion to avoid contamination. To further mitigate localization errors inherent in late fusion, HyDRA incorporates anchor-guided pose graph optimization. Extensive experiments show that HyDRA matches state-of-the-art methods under architecture heterogeneity, and improves overall AP@0.7 over late fusion by nearly 25% under latent domain heterogeneity.
