Che and colleagues present LidarVerse, a conditional world model that generates new LiDAR scenes, predicts future point clouds and resimulates recorded environments from new sensor trajectories.

The authors represent LiDAR sweeps as structured range images and compress them with a fully attention-based tokenizer.
