Overview

arXiv:2511.16949v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Dense 3D semantic occupancy perception is critical for mobile robots operating in pedestrian-rich environments, yet it remains underexplored compared to its application in autonomous driving. To address this gap, we present MobileOcc, a semantic occupancy dataset for mobile robots operating in crowded human environments. Our dataset is built using an annotation pipeline that incorporates static object occupancy annotations and a novel mesh optimization framework explicitly designed for human occupancy modeling. It reconstructs deformable human geometry from 2D images, then refines and optimizes it using associated LiDAR point data. Using MobileOcc, we establish benchmarks for two tasks: i) Occupancy prediction and ii) Pedestrian velocity prediction, using different methods, including monocular, stereo, and panoptic occupancy, with metrics and baseline implementations for reproducible comparison. Beyond occupancy prediction, we further assess our annotation method on 3D human pose estimation datasets. Results demonstrate that our method exhibits robust performance across different datasets. Our code and dataset are released at https://autonomousrobots.nl/paper_websites/mobileocc
