Abstract

Consistent multi-view object segmentation is critical for 3D perception and robotics, yet remains challenging under severe viewpoint and occlusion changes. Existing methods typically perform 3D instance segmentation on point clouds or rely on offline 2D mask-matching pipelines. However, 3D instance segmentation is limited by scarce 3D annotations, while offline 2D matching suffers from object identity ambiguity across frames. To leverage strong 2D and 3D priors jointly, we propose SAM-V (Geometry-Aware Segment Anything for Multi-View Instance Segmentation). Instead of combining the two priors through post-hoc matching, SAM-V directly integrates features from a feed-forward geometry model (VGGT) into a 2D segmentation foundation model (SAM), trained end-to-end for cross-view instance prediction. SAM-V introduces a prompt-fusion mechanism that enriches sparse SAM prompt tokens with view-specific camera tokens and local VGGT features, making the prompt representation both view-aware and spatially grounded, together with a mask decoder that attends to dense 2D and 3D features. By conditioning the mask decoding directly on multi-view geometry, SAM-V produces consistent multi-view segmentation of a prompted object in a single forward pass without offline mask matching or explicit 3D reconstruction. On the IGGT 3D tracking benchmark, where consistent instance identity across frames directly determines performance, SAM-V improves overall IoU by 5 points and frame-level recall by 12 points on the ScanNet++ split over the state-of-the-art multi-view instance segmentation baseline and leads on all metrics in the zero-shot ScanNet split. Our code and pretrained models are available at https://github.com/gong208/SAM-V.git.

G2^2TAM: Geometry Grounded Track Anything Model

Human spatial understanding arises from jointly perceiving geometry and semantics, enabling consistent object identification and localization across viewpoints and time. Current video segmentation models depend on explicit object appearance memory banks for instance tracking, yet they remain vulnerable to large viewpoint changes and long-term occlusions. Leveraging the spatial consistency afforded by modern feed-forward 3D reconstruction models, we propose the Geometry Grounded Tracking Anything Model (G2^2TAM), a unified framework for promptable instance tracking in 3D using only unordered RGB images or videos. G2^2TAM employs spatially aligned geometric representations as implicit memory, ensuring stable instance identity and localization across frames and views. At its core is a cross-modal spatial encoder that integrates visual and textual prompts into a shared geometric space, enabling end-to-end spatial reconstruction and instance-consistent mask prediction. To support training and evaluation, we construct InsTrack, a large-scale dataset with a dedicated validation split for benchmarking. Extensive experiments show that G2^2TAM delivers strong cross-view consistency, promptable instance spatial tracking, video object segmentation and spatial reconstruction, establishing a foundation for interactive, geometry-grounded spatial reasoning.

SAMV-DUSt3R: Instance-Centric 3D Scene Decoupling from Sparse Multi-Views

With the rising demand to decouple objects from 3D scenes, we propose SAMV-DUSt3R, an end-to-end model that injects SAM2 2D masks into MV-DUSt3R reconstruction. A Cross Flow Mask Block uses these masks to steer the network toward the target instance, jointly improving shape accuracy and achieving object-level disentanglement without multi-stage pipelines. To ensure reconstruction stability, a lightweight Spatial RankGNN selects the optimal reference view with a selection accuracy of 73.5%. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method boosts average reconstruction precision by 11% across various metrics compared to state-of-the-art baselines. These results reveal a strong instance-disentanglement capability and clear benefits for driving, robotics, AR/VR, and heritage digitisation.

SpaCeFormer: Fast Proposal-Free Open-Vocabulary 3D Instance Segmentation

Open-vocabulary 3D instance segmentation is a core capability for robotics and AR/VR, but prior methods trade one bottleneck for another: multi-stage 2D+3D pipelines aggregate foundation-model outputs at hundreds of seconds per scene, while pseudo-labeled end-to-end approaches rely on fragmented masks and external region proposals. We present SpaCeFormer, a proposal-free space-curve transformer that runs in 0.12--0.30 seconds per scene across standard benchmarks, 2--3 orders of magnitude faster than multi-stage 2D+3D pipelines. We pair it with SpaCeFormer-3M, the largest open-vocabulary 3D instance segmentation dataset (3.0M multi-view-consistent captions over 604K instances from 7.4K scenes) built through multi-view mask clustering and multi-view VLM captioning; it reaches 21×\times higher mask recall than prior single-view pipelines (54.3% vs 2.5% at IoU>>0.5). SpaCeFormer combines spatial window attention with Morton-curve serialization for spatially coherent features, and uses a RoPE-enhanced decoder to predict instance masks directly from learned queries without external proposals. On ScanNet200 we achieve 11.1 zero-shot mAP, a 2.8×\times improvement over the prior best proposal-free method; on ScanNet++ and Replica, we reach 22.9 and 24.1 mAP, surpassing all prior methods including those using multi-view 2D inputs.
