Z3D introduces a universal zero-shot 3D visual grounding pipeline that localizes objects in 3D scenes from natural language queries using multi-view images. It establishes new state-of-the-art performance in zero-shot 3DVG, including image-only scenarios, by integrating high-quality 3D instance segmentation and advanced Vision-Language Model (VLM) reasoning, achieving significant improvements on ScanRefer and Nr3D benchmarks.

Key insights

  • Combining advanced VLM reasoning for view selection and prompt-guided 2D segmentation with high-quality zero-shot 3D instance segmentation significantly improves zero-shot 3DVG performance.
  • Robust 3D reconstruction from multi-view images, even without explicit depth or pose supervision, can effectively enable zero-shot 3DVG in challenging image-only settings.
  • A two-stage view selection approach (initial lightweight filtering followed by VLM refinement) efficiently reduces computational load while maintaining accuracy in VLM-based pipelines.
