Multi-sensor fusion significantly enhances the accuracy and robustness of 3D semantic occupancy prediction, which is crucial for autonomous driving and robotics. However, existing approaches depend on large image resolutions and complex networks to achieve top performance, hindering their application in practical scenarios. Additionally, most multi-sensor fusion approaches focus on improving fusion features while overlooking the exploration of supervision strategies for these features. To this end, we propose DAOcc, a novel multi-sensor fusion occupancy network that leverages 3D object detection supervision to assist in achieving superior performance, while using a deployment-friendly image feature extraction network and practical input image resolution. Furthermore, we introduce a BEV View Range Extension strategy to mitigate the adverse effects of reduced image resolution. As a result, our approach achieves new state-of-the-art results on the Occ3D-nuScenes and SurroundOcc datasets, using ResNet50 and a 256x704 input image resolution.
