Polis: 3D Self-Supervision at City Scale

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 29, 2026 · UTC

Reliable semantic representations derived from city-scale 3D models are increasingly important for urban analysis, infrastructure monitoring, autonomous systems, and heritage conservation. However, urban scenes of large spatial extent captured through aerial surveying differ substantially from the indoor, object-level, and self-driving LiDAR data used to pretrain most 3D self-supervised models. We introduce Polis, to our knowledge the first application of Sketched Isotropic Gaussian Regularization (SIGReg) as an objective for a native point cloud encoder, and evaluate it through a frozen-featu
