Abstract
Abstract. Multi-view image-to-point label transfer is an effective strategy for 3D semantic segmentation, but its performance largely depends on how predictions from multiple image observations are fused for each 3D point. Most existing pipelines rely on hard voting or handcrafted weighting rules, which do not explicitly learn the reliability of each view under varying geometric and image-quality conditions. In this paper, we introduce DeepChoice, a lightweight view-weighting module for image-guided 3D semantic segmentation. For each visible observation of a 3D point, DeepChoice exploits a compact set of visibility cues, including incidence angle, range, contrast, sharpness, signal-to-noise ratio, and saturation, to predict normalized per-view weights used to aggregate 2D semantic class probabilities into final 3D point-wise predictions. The method is sensor-agnostic, requires no meshing, and can be integrated as a replacement for standard multi-view fusion rules. Experiments on the full GridNet-HD benchmark show that DeepChoice improves over hard voting by 3.85 mIoU points and over mean-probability fusion by 1.26 points, while reducing the gap with the AnyView oracle upper bound. The largest gains are observed on thin and difficult classes such as conductors, pylons, and insulators. Furthermore, a complementary evaluation on the Images&PointClouds Cultural Heritage dataset shows that the proposed weighting strategy remains beneficial under a very different acquisition context and scene structure, yielding a 1.55 mIoU point improvement over hard voting. These results show that learning how to weight views is a simple yet effective way to strengthen image-guided 3D semantic segmentation pipelines.

This work proposes three learned matching heads: a LightGlue-style attention head with DoubleSoftmax scoring on frozen MASt3R descriptors; a DPT-style multi-scale fusion module that exposes layered spatial detail from the VGGT foundation model before pooling; and a multi-view extension that performs joint self-attention over segments drawn from several views at once, recovering transitive correspondences that strictly pairwise matchers cannot reach.

Recently, open-vocabulary zero-shot 3D scene understanding using vision foundation models has emerged as a promising alternative to data-intensive supervised methods. However, deploying these models in real-world scenarios is severely hindered by their inability to efficiently handle streaming RGB-D inputs and their inherent vulnerability to noise 2D segmentation masks. To address these critical limitations, we propose Stream3Dv2, a novel training-free framework designed for robust streaming 3D perception. Stream3Dv2 processes sequential data through an original nested local-to-historical architecture, capturing multi-view consistency while circumventing the high computational overhead so as to support timely responses. At its core, we introduce a comprehensive geometric-semantic fusion mechanism that resolves geometric noise and semantic ambiguity by explicitly utilizing semantic guidance and formulating 3D segmentation as solving point-and-set merging and partitioning problems. Furthermore, we present an innovative manifold-distance-based point cloud refinement strategy. This approach leverages local manifold graphs for point-to-manifold optimization that mitigates the boundary delineation failures caused by Euclidean-distance metrics, and employs geometric bounding boxes to dynamically activate and update historical instances for achieving rapid manifold-to-manifold refinement. Extensive experiments on public datasets demonstrate that Stream3Dv2 consistently outperforms existing baselines in foundational open-vocabulary streaming 3D segmentation and detection. Finally, we show that integrating our framework with an LLM-based agent enables advanced language-driven 3D scene understanding, underscoring its potential for open-world embodied intelligence.

This work proposes PointPDF V2, a unified framework that integrates open-set recognition (OSS) and incremental learning (IL) into a cohesive pipeline and introduces a more challenging continual OWSS protocol in 3D, where models must simultaneously preserve the known-class performance, acquire new knowledge, and still identify the remaining unknowns across sequential updates.
