3D Object Understanding

Automatic generation of Building Information Models (BIM) from building scans is a key challenge in architecture and construction. We present a modular pipeline for generating IFC-compliant BIM from 3D point clouds. The hybrid approach combines learning-based semantic segmentation with topology-aware geometric reconstruction to model structural elements accurately. We propose vIoU, adapting voxel-based overlap evaluation to Scan-to-BIM by enabling holistic, instance-matching-free comparison of reconstructed and ground-truth models. We release the German Hospital dataset (DeKH), including high-resolution point clouds, ground truth BIMs, and semantic annotations. Experiments on DeKH and CV4AEC datasets show significant improvements over a RANSAC-based baseline, demonstrating robustness and scalability.

Understanding the surrounding environment is fundamental in autonomous driving and robotic perception. Distinguishing between known classes and previously unseen objects is crucial in real-world environments, as done in Anomaly Segmentation. However, research in the 3D field remains limited, with most existing approaches applying post-processing techniques from 2D vision. To cover this lack, we propose a new efficient approach that directly operates in the feature space, modeling the feature distribution of inlier classes to constrain anomalous samples. Moreover, the only publicly available 3D LiDAR anomaly segmentation dataset contains simple scenarios, with few anomaly instances, and exhibits a severe domain gap due to its sensor resolution. To bridge this gap, we introduce a set of mixed real-synthetic datasets for 3D LiDAR anomaly segmentation, built upon established semantic segmentation benchmarks, with multiple out-of-distribution objects and diverse, complex environments. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves state-of-the-art and competitive results on the existing real-world dataset and the newly introduced mixed datasets, respectively, validating the effectiveness of our method and the utility of the proposed datasets. Code and datasets are available at https://simom0.github.io/lido-page/.

Reconstructing realistic underwater scenes from underwater video remains a meaningful yet challenging task in the multimedia domain. The inherent spatiotemporal degradations in underwater imaging, including caustics, flickering, attenuation, and backscattering, frequently result in inaccurate geometry and appearance in existing 3D reconstruction methods. While a few recent works have explored underwater degradation-aware reconstruction, they often address either spatial or temporal degradation alone, falling short in more real-world underwater scenarios where both types of degradation occur. We propose MarineSTD-GS, a novel 3D Gaussian Splatting-based framework that explicitly models both temporal and spatial degradations for realistic underwater scene reconstruction. Specifically, we introduce two paired Gaussian primitives: Intrinsic Gaussians represent the true scene, while Degraded Gaussians render the degraded observations. The color of each Degraded Gaussian is physically derived from its paired Intrinsic Gaussian via a Spatiotemporal Degradation Modeling (SDM) module, enabling self-supervised disentanglement of realistic appearance from degraded images. To ensure stable training and accurate geometry, we further propose a Depth-Guided Geometry Loss and a Multi-Stage Optimization strategy. We also construct a simulated benchmark with diverse spatial and temporal degradations and ground-truth appearances for comprehensive evaluation. Experiments on both simulated and real-world datasets show that MarineSTD-GS robustly handles spatiotemporal degradations and outperforms existing methods in novel view synthesis with realistic, water-free scene appearances.

We present SS3D, a web-scale SfM-based self-supervision pretraining pipeline for feed-forward 3D estimation from monocular video. Our model jointly predicts depth, ego-motion, and intrinsics in a single forward pass and is trained/evaluated as a coherent end-to-end 3D estimator. To stabilize joint learning, we use an intrinsics-first two-stage schedule and a unified single-checkpoint evaluation protocol. Scaling SfM self-supervision to unconstrained web video is challenging due to weak multi-view observability and strong corpus heterogeneity; we address these with a multi-view signal proxy (MVS) used for filtering and curriculum sampling, and with expert training distilled into a single student. Pretraining on YouTube-8M (~100M frames after filtering) yields strong cross-domain zero-shot transfer and improved fine-tuning performance over prior self-supervised baselines. We release the pretrained checkpoint and code.

Single-view 3D shape retrieval is a fundamental yet challenging task that is increasingly important with the growth of available 3D data. Existing approaches largely fall into two categories: those using contrastive learning to map point cloud features into existing vision-language spaces and those that learn a common embedding space for 2D images and 3D shapes. However, these feed-forward, holistic alignments are often difficult to interpret, which in turn limits their robustness and generalization to real-world applications. To address this problem, we propose Pose-Aware 3D Shape Retrieval (PASR), a framework that formulates retrieval as a feature-level analysis-by-synthesis problem by distilling knowledge from a 2D foundation model (DINOv3) into a 3D encoder. By aligning pose-conditioned 3D projections with 2D feature maps, our method bridges the gap between real-world images and synthetic meshes. During inference, PASR performs a test-time optimization via analysis-by-synthesis, jointly searching for the shape and pose that best reconstruct the patch-level feature map of the input image. This synthesis-based optimization is inherently robust to partial occlusion and sensitive to fine-grained geometric details. PASR substantially outperforms existing methods on both clean and occluded 3D shape retrieval datasets by a wide margin. Additionally, PASR demonstrates strong multi-task capabilities, achieving robust shape retrieval, competitive pose estimation, and accurate category classification within a single framework.

Accurate identification of individual farm animals in group-housed environments is a cornerstone of precision livestock management. However, current industry standards rely heavily on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) ear tags, which are invasive, prone to loss, and restricted by the spatial limitations of antenna fields. In this paper, we propose a non-intrusive, vision-based identification system leveraging 3D point cloud data captured within a commercial electronic feeding station (EFS). Departing from traditional supervised frame-level inference, we introduce the Temporal Adaptive Recognition Architecture (TARA), a self-sufficient, semi-supervised framework designed to maintain identity consistency over time. TARA employs a dynamic recalibration mechanism that updates individual identity profiles to account for morphological changes in the livestock. To facilitate training in label-scarce environments, we utilize a visit-level majority voting strategy to generate high-fidelity pseudo-labels from raw temporal sequences. Experimental results on a group housed sow dataset collected from an operational commercial barn demonstrate that our approach achieves 100% identification accuracy at the visit level. These results suggest that vision-based 3D point cloud analysis offers a robust, superior alternative to RFID-based systems, paving the way for fully autonomous individual animal monitoring.

While feed-forward 3D reconstruction models have advanced rapidly, they still exhibit degraded performance on panoramas due to spherical distortions. Moreover, existing panoramic 3D datasets are predominantly collected with 360 cameras fixed at discrete locations, resulting in discontinuous trajectories. These limitations critically hinder the development of panoramic feed-forward 3D reconstruction, especially for the multi-view setting. In this paper, we present Holo360D, a comprehensive dataset containing 109,495 panoramas paired with registered point clouds, meshes, and aligned camera poses. To our knowledge, Holo360D is the first large-scale dataset that provides continuous panoramic sequences with accurately aligned high-completeness depth maps. The raw data are initially collected using a 3D laser scanner coupled with a 360 camera. Subsequently, the raw data are processed with both online and offline SLAM systems. Furthermore, to enhance the 3D data quality, a post-processing pipeline tailored for the 360 dataset is proposed, including geometry denoising, mesh hole filling, and region-specific remeshing. Finally, we establish a new benchmark by fine-tuning 3D reconstruction models on Holo360D, providing key insights into effective fine-tuning strategies. Our results demonstrate that Holo360D delivers superior training signals and provides a comprehensive benchmark for advancing panoramic 3D reconstruction models. Datasets and Code will be made publicly available.

Computed Tomography (CT) is a widely used imaging modality in medical and industrial applications. To limit radiation exposure and measurement time, there is a growing interest in sparse-view CT, where the number of projection views is significantly reduced. Deep neural networks have shown great promise in improving reconstruction quality in sparse-view CT, especially generative diffusion models. However, these methods struggle to scale to large 3D volumes due to several reasons: (i) the high memory and computational requirements of 3D models, (ii) the lack of large 3D training datasets, and (iii) the inconsistencies across slices when using 2D models independently on each slice. We overcome these limitations and scale diffusion-based sparse-view CT reconstruction to large 3D volumes by combining conditional diffusion with explicit data consistency. We propose Conditional Diffusion Posterior Alignment (CDPA) to enable scalable 3D sparse-view CT reconstruction. A 2D U-Net diffusion model is conditioned on an initial 3D reconstruction to improve inter-slice consistency, combined with data-consistency alignment to match measured projections. Experiments on synthetic and real Cone Beam CT (CBCT) data show state-of-the-art performance, with ablations that confirm the synergistic effects of the proposed pipeline. Finally, we show that the same principles also strengthen fast denoising U-Nets, yielding near-diffusion quality at a fraction of the computational cost.

Fitting an underlying body model to 3D clothed human assets has been extensively studied, yet most approaches focus on either single-modal inputs such as point clouds or multi-view images alone, often requiring a known metric scale. This constraint is frequently impractical, especially for AI-generated assets where scale distortion is common. We propose OmniFit, a method that can seamlessly handle diverse multi-modal inputs, including full scans, partial depth observations, and image captures, while remaining scale-agnostic for both real and synthetic assets. Our key innovation is a simple yet effective conditional transformer decoder that directly maps surface points to dense body landmarks, which are then used for SMPL-X parameter fitting. In addition, an optional plug-and-play image adapter incorporates visual cues to compensate for missing geometric information. We further introduce a dedicated scale predictor that rescales subjects to canonical body proportions. OmniFit substantially outperforms state-of-the-art methods by 57.1 to 80.9 percent across daily and loose clothing scenarios. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first body fitting method to surpass multi-view optimization baselines and the first to achieve millimeter-level accuracy on the CAPE and 4D-DRESS benchmarks.

In the automatic reassembly of fragments acquired using laser scanners to reconstruct objects, a crucial step is the matching of fractured surfaces. In this paper, we propose a novel local descriptor that uses the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to fit the distribution of points, allowing for the description and matching of fractured surfaces of fragments. Our method involves dividing a local surface patch into concave and convex regions for estimating the k value of GMM. Then the final Gaussian Mixture Descriptor (GMD) of the fractured surface is formed by merging the regional GMDs. To measure the similarities between GMDs for determining adjacent fragments, we employ the L2 distance and align the fragments using Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) and Iterative Closest Point (ICP). The extensive experiments on real-scanned public datasets and Terracotta datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach; furthermore, the comparisons with several existing methods also validate the advantage of the proposed method.

Neural representations (NRs), such as neural fields and 3D Gaussians, effectively model volumetric data in computed tomography (CT) but suffer from severe artifacts under sparse-view settings. To address this, we propose DiffNR, a novel framework that enhances NR optimization with diffusion priors. At its core is SliceFixer, a single-step diffusion model designed to correct artifacts in degraded slices. We integrate specialized conditioning layers into the network and develop tailored data curation strategies to support model finetuning. During reconstruction, SliceFixer periodically generates pseudo-reference volumes, providing auxiliary 3D perceptual supervision to fix underconstrained regions. Compared to prior methods that embed CT solvers into time-consuming iterative denoising, our repair-and-augment strategy avoids frequent diffusion model queries, leading to better runtime performance. Extensive experiments show that DiffNR improves PSNR by 3.99 dB on average, generalizes well across domains, and maintains efficient optimization.

Pancreatic tumor segmentation in contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) is clinically important yet technically challenging: lesions are often small, heterogeneous, and easily confused with surrounding soft tissue, and models that perform well on one cohort frequently degrade under cohort shift. Our goal is to improve cross-cohort generalization while keeping the model architecture simple, efficient, and practical for 3D CT segmentation. We introduce PanGuide3D, a cohort-robust architecture with a shared 3D encoder, a pancreas decoder that predicts a probabilistic pancreas map, and a tumor decoder that is explicitly conditioned on this pancreas probability at multiple scales via differentiable soft gating. To capture long-range context under distribution shift, we further add a lightweight Transformer bottleneck in the U-Net bottleneck representation. We evaluate cohort transfer by training on the PanTS (Pancreatic Tumor Segmentation) cohort and testing both in-cohort (PanTS) and out-of-cohort on MSD (Medical Segmentation Decathlon) Task07 Pancreas, using matched preprocessing and training protocols across strong baselines. We collect voxel-level segmentation metrics, patient-level tumor detection, subgroup analyses by tumor size and anatomical location, volume-conditioned performance analyses, and calibration measurements to assess reliability. Across the evaluated models, PanGuide3D achieves the best overall tumor performance and shows improved cross-cohort generalization, particularly for small tumors and challenging anatomical locations, while reducing anatomically implausible false positives. These findings support probabilistic anatomical conditioning as a practical strategy for improving cross-cohort robustness in an end-to-end model and suggest potential utility for contouring support, treatment planning, and multi-institutional studies.

We present Seed3D 2.0, an advanced 3D content generation system built on Seed3D 1.0, with substantial improvements across generation fidelity, simulation-ready capabilities, and application coverage. For geometry, a coarse-to-fine two-stage pipeline decouples global structure learning from high-frequency detail recovery, while a locality-aware VAE achieves higher spatial compression and more efficient decoding. For texture and material generation, we replace the cascaded pipeline of Seed3D 1.0 with a unified PBR model that directly generates multi-view albedo and metallic-roughness maps, enhanced by Mixture-of-Experts scaling and VLM-based semantic conditioning for improved material precision and visual fidelity. Beyond single-object generation, Seed3D 2.0 introduces a simulation-ready model suite comprising scene layout planning, part-aware decomposition, and training-free articulation generation, enabling coherent scene construction and part-level physical interaction across physics and graphics engines. A large-scale human preference study against five recent commercial models shows that Seed3D 2.0 achieves consistent win rates of 69.0% to 89.9% in textured 3D asset generation. Seed3D 2.0 is available on https://exp.volcengine.com/ark/vision?_vtm_=0.0.c70961.d701978.0&mode=vision&modelId=doubao-seed3d-2-0-260328&tab=Gen3D

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.

Single-view 3D scene reconstruction involves inferring both object geometry and spatial layout. Existing methods typically reconstruct objects independently or rely on implicit scene context, failing to exploit the repeated instances commonly present in realworld scenes. We propose FurnSet, a framework that explicitly identifies and leverages repeated object instances to improve reconstruction. Our method introduces per-object CLS tokens and a set-aware self-attention mechanism that groups identical instances and aggregates complementary observations across them, enabling joint reconstruction. We further combine scene-level and object-level conditioning to guide object reconstruction, followed by layout optimization using object point clouds with 3D and 2D projection losses for scene alignment. Experiments on 3D-Future and 3D-Front demonstrate improved scene reconstruction quality, highlighting the effectiveness of exploiting repetition for robust 3D scene reconstruction.

Recent advances in text-guided image editing and 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled high-quality 3D scene manipulation. However, existing pipelines rely on iterative edit-and-fit optimization at test time, alternating between 2D diffusion editing and 3D reconstruction. This process is computationally expensive, scene-specific, and prone to cross-view inconsistencies. We propose a feed-forward framework for cross-view consistent 3D scene editing from sparse views. Instead of enforcing consistency through iterative 3D refinement, we introduce a cross-view regularization scheme in the image domain during training. By jointly supervising multi-view edits with geometric alignment constraints, our model produces view-consistent results without per-scene optimization at inference. The edited views are then lifted into 3D via a feedforward 3DGS model, yielding a coherent 3DGS representation in a single forward pass. Experiments demonstrate competitive editing fidelity and substantially improved cross-view consistency compared to optimization-based methods, while reducing inference time by orders of magnitude.

Training embodied agents to understand 3D scenes as humans do requires large-scale data of people meaningfully interacting with diverse environments, yet such data is scarce. Real-world capture is costly and limited to controlled settings, while existing synthetic datasets rely on simple geometric heuristics, ignoring rich scene context. In contrast, 2D foundation models trained at internet scale have acquired commonsense knowledge of human-environment interactions. To transfer this knowledge to 3D, we introduce InHabit, an automatic and scalable data generator for populating 3D scenes with interacting humans. InHabit follows a render-generate-lift principle: given a rendered 3D scene, a vision-language model proposes contextually meaningful actions, an image-editing model inserts a human, and an optimization procedure lifts the edited result into physically plausible SMPL-X bodies aligned with the scene geometry. Applied to Habitat-Matterport3D, InHabit produces InHabitants, the first large-scale photorealistic 3D human-scene interaction dataset, with 78K samples across $\sim$800 building-scale scenes with complete 3D geometry, SMPL-X bodies, and images. Augmenting standard training data with InHabitants improves RGB-based 3D human-scene reconstruction and contact estimation, and in a perceptual user study our data is preferred in 78% of cases over prior art.

Transformers have become a common foundation across deep learning, yet 3D scene understanding still relies on specialized backbones with strong domain priors. This keeps the field isolated from the broader Transformer ecosystem, limiting the transfer of new advances as well as the benefits of increasingly optimized software and hardware stacks. To bridge this gap, we adapt the vanilla Transformer encoder to 3D scenes with minimal modifications. Given an input 3D scene, we partition it into volumetric patch tokens, process them with full global self-attention, and inject positional information via a 3D extension of rotary positional embeddings. We call the resulting model the Volume Transformer (Volt) and apply it to 3D semantic segmentation. Naively training Volt on standard 3D benchmarks leads to shortcut learning, highlighting the limited scale of current 3D supervision. To overcome this, we introduce a data-efficient training recipe based on strong 3D augmentations, regularization, and distillation from a convolutional teacher, making Volt competitive with state-of-the-art methods. We then scale supervision through joint training on multiple datasets and show that Volt benefits more from increased scale than domain-specific 3D backbones, achieving state-of-the-art results across indoor and outdoor datasets. Finally, when used as a drop-in backbone in a standard 3D instance segmentation pipeline, Volt again sets a new state of the art, highlighting its potential as a simple, scalable, general-purpose backbone for 3D scene understanding.

Hallucinations in Speech Large Language Models (SpeechLLMs) pose significant risks, yet existing detection methods typically rely on gold-standard outputs that are costly or impractical to obtain. Moreover, hallucination detection methods developed for text-based LLMs do not directly capture audio-specific signals. We investigate four attention-derived metrics: AUDIORATIO, AUDIOCONSISTENCY, AUDIOENTROPY, and TEXTENTROPY, designed to capture pathological attention patterns associated with hallucination, and train lightweight logistic regression classifiers on these features for efficient inference-time detection. Across automatic speech recognition and speech-to-text translation tasks, evaluations on Qwen-2-Audio and Voxtral-3B show that our approach outperforms uncertainty-based and prior attention-based baselines on in-domain data, achieving improvements of up to +0.23 PR-AUC, and generalises to out-of-domain ASR settings. We further find that strong performance can be achieved with approximately 100 attention heads, improving out-of-domain generalisation compared to using all heads. While effectiveness is model-dependent and task-specific training is required, our results demonstrate that attention patterns provide a valuable tool for hallucination detection in SpeechLLMs.

Current 3D mapping pipelines generally assume static environments, which limits their ability to accurately capture and reconstruct moving objects. To address this limitation, we introduce the novel task of active mapping of moving objects, in which a mapping agent must plan its trajectory while compensating for the object's motion. Our approach, Paparazzo, provides a learning-free solution that robustly predicts the target's trajectory and identifies the most informative viewpoints from which to observe it, to plan its own path. We also contribute a comprehensive benchmark designed for this new task. Through extensive experiments, we show that Paparazzo significantly improves 3D reconstruction completeness and accuracy compared to several strong baselines, marking an important step toward dynamic scene understanding.

Creating realistic and simulation-ready 3D assets is crucial for autonomous driving research and virtual environment construction. However, existing 3D vehicle generation methods are often trained on synthetic data with significant domain gaps from real-world distributions. The generated models often exhibit arbitrary poses and undefined scales, resulting in poor visual consistency when integrated into driving scenes. In this paper, we present Unposed-to-3D, a novel framework that learns to reconstruct 3D vehicles from real-world driving images using image-only supervision. Our approach consists of two stages. In the first stage, we train an image-to-3D reconstruction network using posed images with known camera parameters. In the second stage, we remove camera supervision and use a camera prediction head that directly estimates the camera parameters from unposed images. The predicted pose is then used for differentiable rendering to provide self-supervised photometric feedback, enabling the model to learn 3D geometry purely from unposed images. To ensure simulation readiness, we further introduce a scale-aware module to predict real-world size information, and a harmonization module that adapts the generated vehicles to the target driving scene with consistent lighting and appearance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Unposed-to-3D effectively reconstructs realistic, pose-consistent, and harmonized 3D vehicle models from real-world images, providing a scalable path toward creating high-quality assets for driving scene simulation and digital twin environments.

Camera-only 3D object detection has emerged as a cost-effective and scalable alternative to LiDAR for autonomous driving, yet existing methods primarily prioritize overall performance while overlooking the severe long-tail imbalance inherent in real-world datasets. In practice, many rare but safety-critical categories such as children, strollers, or emergency vehicles are heavily underrepresented, leading to biased learning and degraded performance. This challenge is further exacerbated by pronounced inter-class ambiguity (e.g., visually similar subclasses) and substantial intra-class diversity (e.g., objects varying widely in appearance, scale, pose, or context), which together hinder reliable long-tail recognition. In this work, we introduce SemLT3D, a Semantic-Guided Expert Distillation framework designed to enrich the representation space for underrepresented classes through semantic priors. SemLT3D consists of: (1) a language-guided mixture-of-experts module that routes 3D queries to specialized experts according to their semantic affinity, enabling the model to better disentangle confusing classes and specialize on tail distributions; and (2) a semantic projection distillation pipeline that aligns 3D queries with CLIP-informed 2D semantics, producing more coherent and discriminative features across diverse visual manifestations. Although motivated by long-tail imbalance, the semantically structured learning in SemLT3D also improves robustness under broader appearance variations and challenging corner cases, offering a principled step toward more reliable camera-only 3D perception.

Visual search in 3D environments requires embodied agents to actively explore their surroundings and acquire task-relevant evidence. However, existing visual search and embodied AI benchmarks, including EQA, typically rely on static observations or constrained egocentric motion, and thus do not explicitly evaluate fine-grained viewpoint-dependent phenomena that arise under unrestricted 5-DoF viewpoint control in real-world 3D environments, such as visibility changes caused by vertical viewpoint shifts, revealing contents inside containers, and disambiguating object attributes that are only observable from specific angles. To address this limitation, we introduce {E3VS-Bench}, a benchmark for embodied 3D visual search where agents must control their viewpoints in 5-DoF to gather viewpoint-dependent evidence for question answering. E3VS-Bench consists of 99 high-fidelity 3D scenes reconstructed using 3D Gaussian Splatting and 2,014 question-driven episodes. 3D Gaussian Splatting enables photorealistic free-viewpoint rendering that preserves fine-grained visual details (e.g., small text and subtle attributes) often degraded in mesh-based simulators, thereby allowing the construction of questions that cannot be answered from a single view and instead require active inspection across viewpoints in 5-DoF. We evaluate multiple state-of-the-art VLMs and compare their performance with humans. Despite strong 2D reasoning ability, all models exhibit a substantial gap from humans, highlighting limitations in active perception and coherent viewpoint planning specifically under full 5-DoF viewpoint changes.

Text-driven 3D scene editing has recently attracted increasing attention. Most existing methods follow a render-edit-optimize pipeline, where multi-view images are rendered from a 3D scene, edited with 2D image editors, and then used to optimize the underlying 3D representation. However, cross-view inconsistency remains a major bottleneck. Although recent methods introduce geometric cues, cross-view interactions, or video priors to mitigate this issue, they still largely rely on inference-time synchronization and thus remain limited in robustness and generalization.In this work, we recast multi-view consistent 3D editing from a distributional perspective: 3D scene editing essentially requires a joint distribution modeling across viewpoints.Based on this insight, we propose a view-consistent 3D editing framework that explicitly introduces cross-view dependencies into the editing process. Furthermore, motivated by the observation that structural correspondence and semantic continuity rely on different cross-view cues, we introduce a dual-path consistency mechanism consisting of projection-guided structural guidance and patch-level semantic propagation for effective cross-view editing. Further, we construct a paired multi-view editing dataset that provides reliable supervision for learning cross-view consistency in edited scenes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method achieves superior editing performance with precise and consistent views for complex scenes.

Three-dimensional (3D) medical image enhancement, including denoising and super-resolution, is critical for clinical diagnosis in CT, PET, and MRI. Although diffusion models have shown remarkable success in 2D medical imaging, scaling them to high-resolution 3D volumes remains computationally prohibitive due to lengthy diffusion trajectories over high-dimensional volumetric data. We observe that in conditional enhancement, strong anatomical priors in the degraded input render dense noise schedules largely redundant. Leveraging this insight, we propose a sparse voxel-space diffusion framework that trains and samples on a compact set of uniformly subsampled timesteps. The network predicts clean data directly on the data manifold, supervised in velocity space for stable gradient scaling. A lightweight Structure-aware Trajectory Modulation (STM) module recalibrates time embeddings at each network block based on local anatomical content, enabling structure-adaptive denoising over the shared sparse schedule. Operating directly in voxel space, our framework preserves fine anatomical detail without lossy compression while achieving up to $10\times$ training acceleration. Experiments on four datasets spanning CT, PET, and MRI demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on both denoising and super-resolution tasks. Our code is publicly available at: https://github.com/mirthAI/sparse-3d-diffusion.

We introduce LaviGen, a framework that repurposes 3D generative models for 3D layout generation. Unlike previous methods that infer object layouts from textual descriptions, LaviGen operates directly in the native 3D space, formulating layout generation as an autoregressive process that explicitly models geometric relations and physical constraints among objects, producing coherent and physically plausible 3D scenes. To further enhance this process, we propose an adapted 3D diffusion model that integrates scene, object, and instruction information and employs a dual-guidance self-rollout distillation mechanism to improve efficiency and spatial accuracy. Extensive experiments on the LayoutVLM benchmark show LaviGen achieves superior 3D layout generation performance, with 19% higher physical plausibility than the state of the art and 65% faster computation. Our code is publicly available at https://github.com/fenghora/LaviGen.

3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) has recently redefined the paradigm of 3D reconstruction, striking an unprecedented balance between visual fidelity and computational efficiency. As its adoption proliferates, safeguarding the copyright of explicit 3DGS assets has become paramount. However, existing invisible message embedding frameworks struggle to reconcile secure and high-capacity data embedding with intrinsic asset utility, often disrupting the native rendering pipeline or exhibiting vulnerability to structural perturbations. In this work, we present \textbf{\textit{Splats in Splats++}}, a unified and pipeline-agnostic steganography framework that seamlessly embeds high-capacity 3D/4D content directly within the native 3DGS representation. Grounded in a principled analysis of the frequency distribution of Spherical Harmonics (SH), we propose an importance-graded SH coefficient encryption scheme that achieves imperceptible embedding without compromising the original expressive power. To fundamentally resolve the geometric ambiguities that lead to message leakage, we introduce a \textbf{Hash-Grid Guided Opacity Mapping} mechanism. Coupled with a novel \textbf{Gradient-Gated Opacity Consistency Loss}, our formulation enforces a stringent spatial-attribute coupling between the original and hidden scenes, effectively projecting the discrete attribute mapping into a continuous, attack-resilient latent manifold. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method substantially outperforms existing approaches, achieving up to \textbf{6.28 db} higher message fidelity, \textbf{3$\times$} faster rendering, and exceptional robustness against aggressive 3D-targeted structural attacks (e.g., GSPure). Furthermore, our framework exhibits remarkable versatility, generalizing seamlessly to 2D image embedding, 4D dynamic scene steganography, and diverse downstream tasks.

3D object detection models trained in one server plays an important role in autonomous driving, robotics manipulation, and augmented reality scenarios. However, most existing methods face severe privacy concern when deployed on a multi-robot perception network to explore large-scale 3D scene. Meanwhile, it is highly challenging to employ conventional federated learning methods on 3D object detection scenes, due to the 3D data heterogeneity and limited communication bandwidth. In this paper, we take the first attempt to propose a novel Federated 3D object detection framework (i.e., Fed3D), to enable distributed learning for 3D object detection with privacy preservation. Specifically, considering the irregular input 3D object in local robot and various category distribution between robots could cause local heterogeneity and global heterogeneity, respectively. We then propose a local-global class-aware loss for the 3D data heterogeneity issue, which could balance gradient back-propagation rate of different 3D categories from local and global aspects. To reduce communication cost on each round, we develop a federated 3D prompt module, which could only learn and communicate the prompts with few learnable parameters. To the end, several extensive experiments on federated 3D object detection show that our Fed3D model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art algorithms with lower communication cost when providing the limited local training data.

Recent text-to-scene generation approaches largely reduced the manual efforts required to create 3D scenes. However, their focus is either to generate a scene layout or to generate objects, and few generate both. The generated scene layout is often simple even with LLM's help. Moreover, the generated scene is often inconsistent with the text input that contains non-trivial descriptions of the shape, appearance, and spatial arrangement of the objects. We present a new paradigm of sequential text-to-scene generation and propose a novel generative model for interactive scene creation. At the core is a 3D Autoregressive Diffusion model 3D-ARD+, which unifies the autoregressive generation over a multimodal token sequence and diffusion generation of next-object 3D latents. To generate the next object, the model uses one autoregressive step to generate the coarse-grained 3D latents in the scene space, conditioned on both the current seen text instructions and already synthesized 3D scene. It then uses a second step to generate the 3D latents in the smaller object space, which can be decoded into fine-grained object geometry and appearance. We curate a large dataset of 230K indoor scenes with paired text instructions for training. We evaluate 7B 3D-ARD+, on challenging scenes, and showcase the model can generate and place objects following non-trivial spatial layout and semantics prescribed by the text instructions.

3D policy learning promises superior generalization and cross-embodiment transfer, but progress has been hindered by training instabilities and severe overfitting, precluding the adoption of powerful 3D perception models. In this work, we systematically diagnose these failures, identifying the omission of 3D data augmentation and the adverse effects of Batch Normalization as primary causes. We propose a new architecture coupling a scalable transformer-based 3D encoder with a diffusion decoder, engineered specifically for stability at scale and designed to leverage large-scale pre-training. Our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art 3D baselines on challenging manipulation benchmarks, establishing a new and robust foundation for scalable 3D imitation learning.

This paper proposes a fast and online method for jointly performing 3D multi-object tracking and pose estimation using multiple monocular cameras. Our algorithm requires only 2D bounding box and pose detections, eliminating the need for costly 3D training data or computationally expensive deep learning models. Our solution is an efficient implementation of a Bayes-optimal multi-object tracking filter, enhancing computational efficiency while maintaining accuracy. We demonstrate that our algorithm is significantly faster than state-of-the-art methods without compromising accuracy, using only publicly available pre-trained 2D detection models. We also illustrate the robust performance of our algorithm in scenarios where multiple cameras are intermittently disconnected or reconnected during operation.

Myotubes are multinucleated muscle fibers serving as key model systems for studying muscle physiology, disease mechanisms, and drug responses. Mechanistic studies and drug screening thereby rely on quantitative morphological readouts such as diameter, length, and branching degree, which in turn require precise three-dimensional instance segmentation. Yet established pretrained biomedical segmentation models fail to generalize to this domain due to the absence of large annotated myotube datasets. We introduce a geometry-driven synthesis pipeline that models individual myotubes via polynomial centerlines, locally varying radii, branching structures, and ellipsoidal end caps derived from real microscopy observations. Synthetic volumes are rendered with realistic noise, optical artifacts, and CycleGAN-based Domain Adaptation (DA). A compact 3D U-Net with self-supervised encoder pretraining, trained exclusively on synthetic data, achieves a mean IPQ of 0.22 on real data, significantly outperforming three established zero-shot segmentation models, demonstrating that biophysics-driven synthesis enables effective instance segmentation in annotation-scarce biomedical domains.

Recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have enabled highly efficient and photorealistic novel view synthesis. However, segmenting objects accurately in 3DGS remains challenging due to the discrete nature of Gaussian representations, which often leads to aliasing and artifacts at object boundaries. In this paper, we introduce NG-GS, a novel framework for high-quality object segmentation in 3DGS that explicitly addresses boundary discretization. Our approach begins by automatically identifying ambiguous Gaussians at object boundaries using mask variance analysis. We then apply radial basis function (RBF) interpolation to construct a spatially continuous feature field, enhanced by multi-resolution hash encoding for efficient multi-scale representation. A joint optimization strategy aligns 3DGS with a lightweight NeRF module through alignment and spatial continuity losses, ensuring smooth and consistent segmentation boundaries. Extensive experiments on NVOS, LERF-OVS, and ScanNet benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, with significant gains in boundary mIoU. Code is available at https://github.com/BJTU-KD3D/NG-GS.

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models have become the dominant architecture for large-scale language models, yet on-premises serving remains fundamentally memory-bound as batching turns sparse per-token compute into dense memory activation. Memory-centric architectures (PIM, NMP) improve bandwidth but leave compute underutilized under MoE's low arithmetic intensity at high batch sizes. Speculative decoding (SD) trades idle compute for fewer target invocations, yet verification must load experts even for rejected tokens, severely limiting its benefit in MoE especially at low batch sizes. We propose ELMoE-3D, a hybrid-bonding (HB)-based HW-SW co-designed framework that unifies cache-based acceleration and speculative decoding to offer overall speedup across batch sizes. We identify two intrinsic elasticity axes of MoE-expert and bit-and jointly scale them to construct Elastic Self-Speculative Decoding (Elastic-SD), which serves as both an expert cache and a strongly aligned self-draft model accelerated by high HB bandwidth. Our LSB-augmented bit-sliced architecture exploits inherent redundancy in bit-slice representations to natively support bit-nested execution. On our 3D-stacked hardware, ELMoE-3D achieves an average $6.6\times$ speedup and $4.4\times$ energy efficiency gain over naive MoE serving on xPU across batch sizes 1-16, and delivers $2.2\times$ speedup and $1.4\times$ energy efficiency gain over the best-performing prior accelerator baseline.

Vision Transformer (ViT)-based sparse multi-view 3D object detectors have achieved remarkable accuracy but still suffer from high inference latency due to heavy token processing. To accelerate these models, token compression has been widely explored. However, our revisit of existing strategies, such as token pruning, merging, and patch size enlargement, reveals that they often discard informative background cues, disrupt contextual consistency, and lose fine-grained semantics, negatively affecting 3D detection. To overcome these limitations, we propose SEPatch3D, a novel framework that dynamically adjusts patch sizes while preserving critical semantic information within coarse patches. Specifically, we design Spatiotemporal-aware Patch Size Selection (SPSS) that assigns small patches to scenes containing nearby objects to preserve fine details and large patches to background-dominated scenes to reduce computation cost. To further mitigate potential detail loss, Informative Patch Selection (IPS) selects the informative patches for feature refinement, and Cross-Granularity Feature Enhancement (CGFE) injects fine-grained details into selected coarse patches, enriching semantic features. Experiments on the nuScenes and Argoverse 2 validation sets show that SEPatch3D achieves up to \textbf{57%} faster inference than the StreamPETR baseline and \textbf{20%} higher efficiency than the state-of-the-art ToC3D-faster, while preserving comparable detection accuracy. Code is available at https://github.com/Mingqj/SEPatch3D.

We propose a multimodal, physically grounded approach for metric-scale amodal object reconstruction and pose estimation under severe hand occlusion. Unlike prior occlusion-aware 3D generation methods that rely only on vision, we leverage physical interaction signals: proprioception provides the posed hand geometry, and multi-contact touch constrains where the object surface must lie, reducing ambiguity in occluded regions. We represent object structure as a pose-aware, camera-aligned signed distance field (SDF) and learn a compact latent space with a Structure-VAE. In this latent space, we train a conditional flow-matching diffusion model, pretraining on vision-only images and finetuning on occluded manipulation scenes while conditioning on visible RGB evidence, occluder/visibility masks, the hand latent representation, and tactile information. Crucially, we incorporate physics-based objectives and differentiable decoder-guidance during finetuning and inference to reduce hand--object interpenetration and to align the reconstructed surface with contact observations. Because our method produces a metric, physically consistent structure estimate, it integrates naturally into existing two-stage reconstruction pipelines, where a downstream module refines geometry and predicts appearance. Experiments in simulation show that adding proprioception and touch substantially improves completion under occlusion and yields physically plausible reconstructions at correct real-world scale compared to vision-only baselines; we further validate transfer by deploying the model on a real humanoid robot with an end-effector different from those used during training.

Flow-matching methods for 3D shape assembly learn point-wise velocity fields that transport parts toward assembled configurations, yet they receive no explicit guidance about which cross-part interactions should drive the motion. We introduce TORA, a topology-first representation alignment framework that distills relational structure from a frozen pretrained 3D encoder into the flow-matching backbone during training. We first realize this via simple instantiation, token-wise cosine matching, which injects the learned geometric descriptors from the teacher representation. We then extend to employ a Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA) loss to match the similarity structure between student and teacher representations for enhanced topological alignment. Through systematic probing of diverse 3D encoders, we show that geometry- and contact-centric teacher properties, not semantic classification ability, govern alignment effectiveness, and that alignment is most beneficial at later transformer layers where spatial structure naturally emerges. TORA introduces zero inference overhead while yielding two consistent benefits: faster convergence (up to 6.9$\times$) and improved accuracy in-distribution, along with greater robustness under domain shift. Experiments on five benchmarks spanning geometric, semantic, and inter-object assembly demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, with particularly pronounced gains in zero-shot transfer to unseen real-world and synthetic datasets.

Pretraining 3D encoders through alignment with Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training (CLIP) has emerged as a promising direction for learning generalizable representations for 3D scene understanding. In this paper, we propose UniScene3D, a transformer-based framework that learns unified 3D scene representations from multi-view RGB-Pointmap inputs by leveraging the priors of a pretrained 2D foundation model. For robust RGB-Pointmap representation learning, we introduce cross-view geometric alignment and grounded view alignment to enforce geometric and semantic consistency across views. Extensive low-shot and task-specific fine-tuning on viewpoint grounding, scene retrieval, scene classification, and 3D visual question answering demonstrates state-of-the-art performance. These results establish UniScene3D as an effective framework for unified 3D scene understanding. Project page: https://yebulabula.github.io/UniScene3D/

Automated semantic understanding of dense terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point clouds is a prerequisite for Scan-to-BIM, digital twin maintenance, and as-built verifcation. Yet for operational industrial mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) facilities, this challenge remains largely unsolved: water-treatment TLS scans exhibit extreme geometric ambiguity, severe occlusion, and extreme class imbalance that architectural benchmarks such as S3DIS and ScanNet cannot adequately represent. We present Industrial3D, a terrestrial LiDAR dataset with 612.7 million expert-labeled points at 6 mm resolution from 20 room scenes, 13 dataset areas, and 7 operational water treatment facilities. At 6.6x the scale of the closest comparable MEP dataset, Industrial3D provides the largest industrial MEP testbed for within-domain scene understanding. We further establish a cross-paradigm benchmark of nine methods across fully supervised, weakly supervised, unsupervised, and foundation-model settings. The best supervised method reaches 55.74% mIoU, whereas zero-shot Point-SAM reaches 15.79%, a 39.95 percentage-point gap that quantifes unresolved domain transfer for industrial TLS data. Analysis attributes this gap to a dual crisis: 215:1 statistical rarity and cylindrical geometric ambiguity between tail classes and head-class pipes. The dataset, benchmark code, and pre-trained models will be publicly released at https://github.com/pointcloudyc/Industrial3D.

Most recent advances in 3D generative modeling rely on diffusion or flow-matching formulations. We instead explore a fully autoregressive alternative and introduce GaussianGPT, a transformer-based model that directly generates 3D Gaussians via next-token prediction, thus facilitating full 3D scene generation. We first compress Gaussian primitives into a discrete latent grid using a sparse 3D convolutional autoencoder with vector quantization. The resulting tokens are serialized and modeled using a causal transformer with 3D rotary positional embedding, enabling sequential generation of spatial structure and appearance. Unlike diffusion-based methods that refine scenes holistically, our formulation constructs scenes step-by-step, naturally supporting completion, outpainting, controllable sampling via temperature, and flexible generation horizons. This formulation leverages the compositional inductive biases and scalability of autoregressive modeling while operating on explicit representations compatible with modern neural rendering pipelines, positioning autoregressive transformers as a complementary paradigm for controllable and context-aware 3D generation.

Computed tomography (CT) provides rich 3D anatomical detail but is often constrained by high radiation exposure, substantial costs, and limited availability. Standard chest X-rays are cost-effective and widely accessible, but provide only 2D projections with limited pathological information. Reconstructing 3D CT volumes from 2D X-rays could markedly increase diagnostic accessibility, yet existing methods rely predominantly on synthetic X-ray projections, limiting clinical generalization. We propose AXON, a multi-stage diffusion-based framework that reconstructs 3D CT volumes directly from real X-rays with substantially improved fidelity over existing approaches. AXON follows a coarse-to-fine paradigm: a Brownian Bridge diffusion model first captures global anatomical structure, and a ControlNet-guided refinement stage then enhances local intensity detail and anatomical realism. To alleviate the depth ambiguity inherent in 2D-to-3D reconstruction, AXON incorporates bi-planar X-ray views, enabling more accurate spatial reasoning and structural recovery. A dedicated super-resolution module further increases the spatial resolution of the generated volumes. Experiments on public and external datasets show that AXON consistently surpasses state-of-the-art approaches while generalizing across diverse clinical distributions. At our highest-resolution bi-planar setting, AXON achieves an 11.9% improvement in PSNR and an 11.0% increase in SSIM over the strongest baseline evaluated at that resolution. In the $128^3$ single-planar setting, it maintains a lead of 7.8% in PSNR on LIDC-IDRI, with larger margins on the external clinical dataset of 8.0% in PSNR and 16.9% in SSIM. Our code is available at https://github.com/ai-med/AXON/.

Robust scene representation is essential for autonomous systems to safely operate in challenging low-visibility environments. In these conditions, radar has a clear advantage over cameras and lidars due to its resilience to environmental factors such as fog, smoke, or dust. However, radar data is inherently sparse and noisy, making reliable 3D surface reconstruction challenging. To address this, we propose a neural implicit approach for 3D mapping from radar point clouds that jointly models scene geometry and view-dependent radar intensities. Our method leverages a memory-efficient hybrid feature encoding to learn a continuous Signed Distance Field (SDF) for surface reconstruction, while also capturing radar-specific reflective properties. We show that our approach produces smoother, more accurate 3D surface reconstructions compared to existing lidar-based reconstruction methods applied to radar data and can reconstruct view-dependent radar intensities. We also show that, in general, as input point clouds get sparser, neural implicit representations render more faithful surfaces than traditional explicit SDFs and meshing techniques.

We introduce WAFT-Stereo, a simple and effective warping-based method for stereo matching. WAFT-Stereo demonstrates that cost volumes, a common design used in many leading methods, are not necessary for strong performance and can be replaced by warping with improved efficiency. WAFT-Stereo ranks first on ETH3D (BP-0.5), Middlebury (RMSE), and KITTI (all metrics), reducing the zero-shot error by 81% on ETH3D, while being 1.8-6.7x faster than competitive methods. Code and model weights are available at https://github.com/princeton-vl/WAFT-Stereo.

Despite their output being ultimately consumed by human viewers, 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) methods often rely on ad-hoc combinations of pixel-level losses, resulting in blurry renderings. To address this, we systematically explore perceptual optimization strategies for 3DGS by searching over a diverse set of distortion losses. We conduct the first-of-its-kind large-scale human subjective study on 3DGS, involving 39,320 pairwise ratings across several datasets and 3DGS frameworks. A regularized version of Wasserstein Distortion, which we call WD-R, emerges as the clear winner, excelling at recovering fine textures without incurring a higher splat count. WD-R is preferred by raters more than $2.3\times$ over the original 3DGS loss, and $1.5\times$ over the current best method Perceptual-GS. WD-R also consistently achieves state-of-the-art LPIPS, DISTS, and FID scores across various datasets, and generalizes across recent frameworks, such as Mip-Splatting and Scaffold-GS, where replacing the original loss with WD-R consistently enhances perceptual quality within a similar resource budget (number of splats for Mip-Splatting, model size for Scaffold-GS), and leads to reconstructions being preferred by human raters $1.8\times$ and $3.6\times$, respectively. We also find that this carries over to the task of 3DGS scene compression, with $\approx 50\%$ bitrate savings for comparable perceptual metric performance.

Zero-shot (ZS) 3D anomaly detection is crucial for reliable industrial inspection, as it enables detecting and localizing defects without requiring any target-category training data. Existing approaches render 3D point clouds into 2D images and leverage pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) for anomaly detection. However, such strategies inevitably discard geometric details and exhibit limited sensitivity to local anomalies. In this paper, we revisit intrinsic 3D representations and explore the potential of pre-trained Point-Language Models (PLMs) for ZS 3D anomaly detection. We propose BTP (Back To Point), a novel framework that effectively aligns 3D point cloud and textual embeddings. Specifically, BTP aligns multi-granularity patch features with textual representations for localized anomaly detection, while incorporating geometric descriptors to enhance sensitivity to structural anomalies. Furthermore, we introduce a joint representation learning strategy that leverages auxiliary point cloud data to improve robustness and enrich anomaly semantics. Extensive experiments on Real3D-AD and Anomaly-ShapeNet demonstrate that BTP achieves superior performance in ZS 3D anomaly detection. Code will be available at \href{https://github.com/wistful-8029/BTP-3DAD}{https://github.com/wistful-8029/BTP-3DAD}.

UAVs play an important role in applications such as autonomous exploration, disaster response, and infrastructure inspection. However, UAV VLN in complex 3D environments remains challenging. A key difficulty is the structural representation mismatch between 2D visual perception and the 3D trajectory decision space, which limits spatial reasoning. To this end, we propose SpatialFly, a geometry-guided spatial representation framework for UAV VLN. Operating on RGB observations without explicit 3D reconstruction, SpatialFly introduces a geometry-guided 2D adaptive representation mechanism. Specifically, the geometric prior injection module injects global structural cues into 2D semantic tokens to provide scene-level geometric guidance. The geometry-aware reparameterization module then uses geometry-conditioned cross-modal attention and gated residual fusion to adaptively reparameterize the visual tokens. Experimental results show that SpatialFly consistently outperforms state-of-the-art UAV VLN baselines across both seen and unseen environments, reducing NE by 4.03m and improving SR by 1.27% over the strongest baseline on the unseen Full split. Additional trajectory-level analysis shows that SpatialFly produces trajectories with better path alignment and smoother, more stable motion.

While Multimodal Large Language Models demonstrate impressive semantic capabilities, they often suffer from spatial blindness, struggling with fine-grained geometric reasoning and physical dynamics. Existing solutions typically rely on explicit 3D modalities or complex geometric scaffolding, which are limited by data scarcity and generalization challenges. In this work, we propose a paradigm shift by leveraging the implicit spatial prior within large-scale video generation models. We posit that to synthesize temporally coherent videos, these models inherently learn robust 3D structural priors and physical laws. We introduce VEGA-3D (Video Extracted Generative Awareness), a plug-and-play framework that repurposes a pre-trained video diffusion model as a Latent World Simulator. By extracting spatiotemporal features from intermediate noise levels and integrating them with semantic representations via a token-level adaptive gated fusion mechanism, we enrich MLLMs with dense geometric cues without explicit 3D supervision. Extensive experiments across 3D scene understanding, spatial reasoning, and embodied manipulation benchmarks demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, validating that generative priors provide a scalable foundation for physical-world understanding. Code is publicly available at https://github.com/H-EmbodVis/VEGA-3D.

Recent breakthroughs in 3D generation have enabled the synthesis of high-fidelity individual assets. However, generating 3D compositional objects from single images--particularly under occlusions--remains challenging. Existing methods often degrade geometric details in hidden regions and fail to preserve the underlying object-object spatial relationships (OOR). We present a novel framework Interact3D designed to generate physically plausible interacting 3D compositional objects. Our approach first leverages advanced generative priors to curate high-quality individual assets with a unified 3D guidance scene. To physically compose these assets, we then introduce a robust two-stage composition pipeline. Based on the 3D guidance scene, the primary object is anchored through precise global-to-local geometric alignment (registration), while subsequent geometries are integrated using a differentiable Signed Distance Field (SDF)-based optimization that explicitly penalizes geometry intersections. To reduce challenging collisions, we further deploy a closed-loop, agentic refinement strategy. A Vision-Language Model (VLM) autonomously analyzes multi-view renderings of the composed scene, formulates targeted corrective prompts, and guides an image editing module to iteratively self-correct the generation pipeline. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Interact3D successfully produces promising collsion-aware compositions with improved geometric fidelity and consistent spatial relationships.

Native 3D generative models have achieved remarkable fidelity and speed, yet they suffer from a critical limitation: inability to prescribe precise structural articulations, where precise structural control within the native 3D space remains underexplored. This paper proposes SK-Adapter, a simple yet efficient and effective framework that unlocks precise skeletal manipulation for native 3D generation. Moving beyond text or image prompts, which can be ambiguous for precise structure, we treat the 3D skeleton as a first-class control signal. SK-Adapter is a lightweight structural adapter network that encodes joint coordinates and topology into learnable tokens, which are injected into the frozen 3D generation backbone via cross-attention. This design allows the model to not only effectively ``attend'' to specific 3D structural constraints but also preserve its original generative priors. To bridge the data gap, we contribute the Objaverse-TMS dataset, a large-scale dataset of 24k text-mesh-skeleton pairs. Extensive experiments confirm that our method achieves robust structural control while preserving the geometry and texture quality of the foundation model, significantly outperforming existing baselines. Furthermore, we extend this capability to local 3D editing, enabling region-specific editing of existing assets with skeletal guidance, which is unattainable by previous methods.

Text-guided 3D motion editing has seen success in single-person scenarios, but its extension to multi-person settings is less explored due to limited paired data and the complexity of inter-person interactions. We introduce the task of multi-person 3D motion editing, where a target motion is generated from a source and a text instruction. To support this, we propose InterEdit3D, a new dataset with manual two-person motion change annotations, and a Text-guided Multi-human Motion Editing (TMME) benchmark. We present InterEdit, a synchronized classifier-free conditional diffusion model for TMME. It introduces Semantic-Aware Plan Token Alignment with learnable tokens to capture high-level interaction cues and an Interaction-Aware Frequency Token Alignment strategy using DCT and energy pooling to model periodic motion dynamics. Experiments show that InterEdit improves text-to-motion consistency and edit fidelity, achieving state-of-the-art TMME performance. The dataset and code will be released at https://github.com/YNG916/InterEdit.

Controllable video generation for complex hand-object interactions is a critical step toward building visual world models. However, existing methods often struggle to achieve fine-grained, 3D-consistent hand articulation in generated videos. By relying on dense 2D trajectories or implicit pose representations, they collapse crucial geometric structures into spatially ambiguous signals, leading to severe motion inconsistencies and hallucinated artifacts under egocentric occlusions. To address this, we propose leveraging sparse 3D hand joints as explicit control signals with three key advantages: explicit geometry to resolve occlusions, an intuitive interface for interactive editing, and cross-embodiment generalization to robotic hands. Built upon this, our efficient control module extracts occlusion-aware features from the source reference frame by penalizing unreliable visual features from hidden joints, and employs a 3D-based weighting mechanism to handle dynamically occluded target joints during motion propagation. Meanwhile, it directly injects 3D geometric embeddings into the latent space to enforce structural consistency. To facilitate robust training and evaluation, we develop an automated annotation pipeline, yielding 1M high-quality egocentric video clips paired with precise hand trajectories. Experiments demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art baselines, generating high-fidelity egocentric videos with realistic hand-object interactions.

Building high-fidelity digital twins of articulated objects from visual data remains a central challenge. Existing approaches depend on multi-view captures of the object in discrete, static states, which severely constrains their real-world scalability. In this paper, we introduce Articulat3D, a novel framework that constructs such digital twins from casually captured monocular videos by jointly enforcing explicit 3D geometric and motion constraints. We first propose Motion Prior-Driven Initialization, which leverages 3D point tracks to exploit the low-dimensional structure of articulated motion. By modeling scene dynamics with a compact set of motion bases, we facilitate soft decomposition of the scene into multiple rigidly moving groups. Building on this initialization, we introduce Geometric and Motion Constraints Refinement, which enforces physically plausible articulation through learnable kinematic primitives parameterized by a joint axis, a pivot point, and per-frame motion scalars, yielding reconstructions that are both geometrically accurate and temporally coherent. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Articulat3D achieves state-of-the-art performance on synthetic benchmarks and real-world casually captured monocular videos, significantly advancing the feasibility of digital twin creation under uncontrolled real-world conditions. Our project page is available at https://maxwell-zhao.github.io/Articulat3D/.

3D semantic occupancy prediction is a cornerstone of robotic perception, yet real-world voxel annotations are inherently corrupted by structural artifacts and dynamic trailing effects. This raises a critical but underexplored question: can autonomous systems safely rely on such unreliable occupancy supervision? To systematically investigate this issue, we establish OccNL, the first benchmark dedicated to 3D occupancy under occupancy-asymmetric and dynamic trailing noise. Our analysis reveals a fundamental domain gap: state-of-the-art 2D label noise learning strategies collapse catastrophically in sparse 3D voxel spaces, exposing a critical vulnerability in existing paradigms. To address this challenge, we propose DPR-Occ, a principled label-noise-robust framework that constructs reliable supervision through dual-source partial label reasoning. By synergizing temporal model memory with representation-level structural affinity, DPR-Occ dynamically expands and prunes candidate label sets to preserve true semantics while suppressing noise propagation. Extensive experiments on SemanticKITTI demonstrate that DPR-Occ prevents geometric and semantic collapse under extreme corruption. Notably, even at 90% label noise, our method achieves significant performance gains (up to 2.57% mIoU and 13.91% IoU) over existing label noise learning baselines adapted to the 3D occupancy prediction task. By bridging label noise learning and 3D perception, OccNL and DPR-Occ provide a reliable foundation for safety-critical robotic perception in dynamic environments. The benchmark and source code will be made publicly available at https://github.com/mylwx/OccNL.

We present PROBE (PRobabilistic Occupancy BEV Encoding), a learning-free LiDAR place recognition descriptor that models each BEV cell's occupancy as a Bernoulli random variable. Rather than relying on discrete point-cloud perturbations, PROBE analytically marginalizes over continuous Cartesian translations via the polar Jacobian, yielding a distance-adaptive angular uncertainty $σ_θ= σ_t / r$ in $\mathcal{O}(R{\cdot}S)$ time. The primary parameter $σ_t$ represents the expected translational uncertainty in meters, a sensor-independent physical quantity that enhances cross-sensor generalization while reducing the need for extensive per-dataset tuning. Pairwise similarity combines a Bernoulli-KL Jaccard with exponential uncertainty gating and FFT-based height cosine similarity for rotation alignment. Evaluated on four datasets spanning four diverse LiDAR types, PROBE achieves the highest accuracy among handcrafted descriptors in multi-session evaluation and competitive single-session performance relative to both handcrafted and supervised baselines. The source code and supplementary materials are available at https://sites.google.com/view/probe-pr.

Video stabilization aims to mitigate camera shake but faces a fundamental trade-off between geometric robustness and full-frame consistency. While 2D methods suffer from aggressive cropping, 3D techniques are often undermined by fragile optimization pipelines that fail under extreme motions. Novel view synthesis models suffer from structural artifacts and scale blindness. To bridge this gap, we propose VS3R, a framework that synergizes feed-forward 3D reconstruction with generative video diffusion. Our pipeline jointly estimates camera parameters, depth, and masks to ensure all-scenario reliability, and introduces a Hybrid Stabilized Rendering (HSR) module that fuses semantic and geometric cues to preliminarily address parallax occlusions caused by pose transformations while maintaining dynamic-static consistency. Finally, a Video Stabilization-Driven Diffusion Model (VSDM) leverages contextual information to restore disoccluded regions, jointly optimizing texture and temporal consistency. Collectively, VS3R achieves high-fidelity, full-frame stabilization across diverse camera models and significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in robustness and visual quality.

Leveraging the priors of 2D diffusion models for 3D editing has emerged as a promising paradigm. However, multi-view consistency remains challenging in edited results, and the extreme scarcity of paired 3D-consistent editing data makes supervised fine-tuning (SFT) impractical, despite its effectiveness for editing tasks. In this paper, we observe that, while generating multi-view consistent 3D content is highly challenging, verifying 3D consistency is tractable, naturally positioning reinforcement learning (RL) as a feasible solution. Motivated by this, we propose RL3DEdit, a single-pass framework driven by RL optimization with novel rewards derived from the 3D foundation model, VGGT. Specifically, we leverage VGGT's robust priors learned from massive real-world data, feed the edited images into it, and utilize the output confidence maps and pose estimation errors as reward signals, effectively anchoring the 2D editing priors onto a 3D-consistent manifold via RL. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RL3DEdit achieves stable multi-view consistency and outperforms state-of-the-art methods in editing quality with high efficiency. To promote the development of 3D editing, we will release the code and model.

Vision-language-action (VLA) models integrate visual observations and language instructions to predict robot actions, demonstrating promising generalization in manipulation tasks. However, most existing approaches primarily rely on direct mappings from 2D visual inputs to action sequences, without explicitly modeling the underlying 3D spatial structure or temporal world dynamics. Such representations may limit spatial reasoning and long-horizon decision-making in dynamic environments. To address this limitation, we propose StemVLA, a novel framework that explicitly incorporates both future-oriented 3D spatial knowledge and historical 4D spatiotemporal representations into action prediction. First, instead of relying solely on observed images, StemVLA forecasts structured 3D future spatial-geometric world knowledge, enabling the model to anticipate upcoming scene geometry and object configurations. Second, to capture temporal consistency and motion dynamics, we feed historical image frames into a pretrained video-geometry transformer backbone to extract implicit 3D world representations, and further aggregate them across time using a temporal attention module, termed VideoFormer [20], forming a unified 4D historical spatiotemporal representation. By jointly modeling 2D observations, predicted 3D future structure, and aggregated 4D temporal dynamics, StemVLA enables more comprehensive world understanding for robot manipulation. Extensive experiments in simulation demonstrate that Stem-VLA achieves an average accuracy of 92.0% across the LIBERO subsets, and 86.0% on the long-horizon LIBERO-Long subset.

The growing demand for rapid and scalable 3D asset creation has driven interest in feed-forward 3D reconstruction methods, with 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) emerging as an effective scene representation. While recent approaches have demonstrated pose-free reconstruction from unposed image collections, integrating stylization or appearance control into such pipelines remains underexplored. Existing attempts largely rely on image-based conditioning, which limits both controllability and flexibility. In this work, we introduce AnyStyle, a feed-forward 3D reconstruction and stylization framework that enables pose-free, zero-shot stylization through multimodal conditioning. Our method supports both textual and visual style inputs, allowing users to control the scene appearance using natural language descriptions or reference images. We propose a modular stylization architecture that requires only minimal architectural modifications and can be integrated into existing feed-forward 3D reconstruction backbones. Experiments demonstrate that AnyStyle improves style controllability over prior feed-forward stylization methods while preserving high-quality geometric reconstruction. A user study further confirms that AnyStyle achieves superior stylization quality compared to an existing state-of-the-art approach. Repository: https://github.com/joaxkal/AnyStyle.

Scaling has powered recent advances in vision foundation models, yet extending this paradigm to metric depth estimation remains challenging due to heterogeneous sensor noise, camera-dependent biases, and metric ambiguity in noisy cross-source 3D data. We introduce Metric Anything, a simple and scalable pretraining framework that learns metric depth from noisy, diverse 3D sources without manually engineered prompts, camera-specific modeling, or task-specific architectures. Central to our approach is the Sparse Metric Prompt, created by randomly masking depth maps, which serves as a universal interface that decouples spatial reasoning from sensor and camera biases. Using about 20M image-depth pairs spanning reconstructed, captured, and rendered 3D data across 10000 camera models, we demonstrate-for the first time-a clear scaling trend in the metric depth track. The pretrained model excels at prompt-driven tasks such as depth completion, super-resolution and Radar-camera fusion, while its distilled prompt-free student achieves state-of-the-art results on monocular depth estimation, camera intrinsics recovery, single/multi-view metric 3D reconstruction, and VLA planning. We also show that using pretrained ViT of Metric Anything as a visual encoder significantly boosts Multimodal Large Language Model capabilities in spatial intelligence. These results show that metric depth estimation can benefit from the same scaling laws that drive modern foundation models, establishing a new path toward scalable and efficient real-world metric perception. We open-source MetricAnything at http://metric-anything.github.io/metric-anything-io/ to support community research.

Reconstructing the three-dimensional (3D) geometry of object surfaces is essential for robot perception, yet vision-based approaches degrade under low illumination or occlusion. This limitation motivates the design of a proprioceptive membrane that conforms to the surface of interest and infers 3D geometry by reconstructing its own deformation. Conventional deformation-aware membranes typically rely on resistive, capacitive, or magneto-sensitive mechanisms, but can suffer from structural complexity, limited compliance during large-scale deformation, and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. This work presents a soft, flexible, and stretchable proprioceptive silicone membrane based on optical waveguide sensing. The membrane integrates edge-mounted LEDs and centrally-distributed photodiodes (PDs) within a multilayer elastomeric composite. Rich deformation-dependent light-intensity signals are decoded by a data-driven model to recover the membrane geometry. Real-time reconstruction is demonstrated on a customized 140 mm square membrane at an end-to-end update rate of 90 Hz, achieving an average reconstruction error of 1.307 mm for out-of-plane deformation of up to 25 mm. The proposed sensor also demonstrates accurate reconstruction under large in-plane deformation, achieving reliable shape recovery up to 75% strain with an average Chamfer distance of 1.214 mm. The proposed framework provides a scalable, robust, and low-profile solution for global shape perception in deformable robotic systems.
